2007-06-10T18:40:57 Theater lighting tool upgrade: With the http://light9.bigasterisk.com software, I can now sync motorized sliders to the onscreen ones, and synthesize an image of what the stage might look like. The slider sync is two-way (moving them on the screen makes the physical ones run to their new location). The image is an opengl addition of layer images for each channel. I could get those layer images by photographing each light by itself in the theater. Here, I just sketched some fake lights in gimp.
The first two sliders on the hardware are mapped to lights on the left and right sides of the stage, which are those gray splotches at the center of the screen.
