LED screen Curving

[Fuji]

Hi all,

is it possible to curve a LED screen? I’m using the ROE simple symbols and did a wall 80’w X 12’h and wondered if there is a simplier way to make a curve without having to draw each frame and and slight rotation.

be well,

Hi

 

There is no current curved LED tool unfortunately.  I build them as individual screens but you then need to build content for each section of the screen.  As i visualise a lot of these my workflow is generally to draw a Regular Polygon with sides the length of each panel and the number of sides to reflect the angle between each panel (ie 360/x).  This gives me the required diameter etc.  I then use either the LED screen to create a 1 panel wide by x high LED screen, line this up with the polygon and then use duplicate array to create a circular duplication.  If i need to add screen content I just create an extrude the same shape as the face of the entire screen and apply texture to this.

 

Hoping this gets built into the LED screen tool, I'm sure it's been requested

A query, is there any way to be able to put only one image to the curved screen, and that it is not repeated in each module?

From already thank you very much !

Hi

 

No there is not.  You will need to create an extrude the same shape as the screen and map a glow texture to that

I did this test, and this is the result.

Place several lines of LED modules, then give the Compose command and then add solids.

Then it is to play with the scale and the repetitions.

It is not the best, but the reports show me the number of modules.

Happy day !!!

Hey Alex

 

Can you expand on this a bit. I followed your directions and ended up with the attached file.

 

I modeled the screen with one of the screens I use at work and just manually rotated each column then composed and add solids.

 

Am I missing some thing?

 

Thanks
