Next-Level Lighting Control: GrandMA3 2.0's Generator and Bitmap Engine Unleashed!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- GrandMA3 2.0 have two amazing new features witch we are going to dive into in this video.
The first one we are going to look at, is the new GrandMA3 generator witch can generate random content for your lighting fixtures. Working with strobe channels has away been an issue for me because the different manufacturers have different way of making fixtures strobe randomly.
GrandMA3 2.0 fixed that with the new generator functionality.
GrandMA3 also introduce the bitmap engine back into the software with the newest release of 2.0. The bitmap engine can playback small video files that you can import directly into the console and playback over a selection of fixtures.
You can also use the bitmap engine to playback an NDI feed straight from your media server and map that to your fixtures.
I hope you will enjoy this video and be sure to give it a like and subscribe to the event lighting channel if you enjoy the content.

Great video, again. One of the best MA3 channels! 🎉 thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us 😊👏💡
And thank you for the great support 😀😀
I thought the whole concept of this software was meant to be to no longer separate effects and presets. That presets/phasers were supposed to be a 1 stop shop for everything. Seems like a step in the wrong direction although very cool? These generators seem like single step phasers, interpreting this into phasers would make more sense to me.
Also what GPU do you have? If I put more than 20 light sources on in the 3D I get 1 fps 😂
Love all your content! Cheers
Well yes I see your point 😀 I am not sure it bothers me to use the generator outside of the phaser, because I think I will use generator very little but for kind of a different purpose. I use a stationary pc with a RTX2080Ti graphics card and that behave fine most of the time. But when I push grandma3 3D and screen record the screen recording is sometimes lagging 😵💫😵💫 thank for watching my content and commenting on the videos 🙏😀
I haven’t used the strobe channel on any fixture in the past 10 years as effects in GrandMA2 could do something similar. Dimmer FX with PWM curve, width set to 1 or 2%, Attac and Decay set to 0, speed to Rate 3. Go from there.
I tried to do the same, but i could always see kind of a pattern in the effect. Not that it was useless, but i think the generator has a great potential for the future 🙂
But can the parameters of the Bitmap and Generator be manipulated via the programmer? Just like the MA2 Bitmap Fixture?
There is a new gma3 bitmap fixture. But it is not mentionned here. Look at the release notes
Yes as mentioned here there is a bitmap fixture in the console. I didn’t try working with it, because the way I showed it will probably be the way I will work with it 😀 Maybe I will look at it again In a future video.
Do bitmaps still need to be on a different executor from the main sequence to work properly?
hi, great video 👍
I just have one question, what brand do you use for the little lights used for the bitmap demonstration?
How did you make your stomp phasers?
Where is vidéo for bitmap please ?
How to make video for bitmap??
For some reason when i make a bitmap with NDI, the center of the canvas is not the center of the video source. It offsets in X, so working with 10 fixtures i need to put -2.5 in X, working with 60 fixtures -0.42 in X and so on. I have to readjust each bitmap content... got any idea?
sorry my english btw
Well - i am not sure. But maybe you could check if your 3D is offset to one side a little bit. The selection grid comes from you 3D so maybe you didn’t start in the center 😀
@@Event-Lighting i Will try, thank you. And thank you for all your videos
Your videos have been essential for many people's learning. thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi, I’ve got to the point. I pretty much understand 100% of the gui and like 70% on the commandline I see all of these amazing tools yet I am not sure on how to lay them out or the best way to set them up for a specific console say on pc to a actual ma3 light.
Is there any chance you could do a video on just general guidance on the most efficient way to kind of lay everything out for shows like busking and timecode?
Awesome video as always. Thank you:)
Thanks 🙏 Glad you like it 😀😀
Have you considered doing a lua tutorial? I can't find a good one anywhere. At least not in English
Looks a lot like the RGB matrix effects in QLC+ lol
Any way you know of to use the bitmap on dimmer only?
You are very good at teaching! I'm learning a lot from you. Thanks
Would love a video on the changes to the selection grid!
Great video as always!
Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏😀
🙏🏾🕯️
Now this NDI is powerful!!!
YES - now we can do all kinds of crazy things 😀😀
This is a game changer!
Hi. How do you turn off you bitmap and generators in recipies?
You can give it another value like intensity at 0. You can also use stomp like on any other phaser - like group 1 stomp dimmer. 😀 So if you have a preset with dimmer at 0, that will turn off a generator. But it depends on what parameters you use to create the generator or bitmap.
thank you for making these videos, it makes it easier for me to figure out new features. i have trouble reading the update notes and try them out myself because of my adhd.
Nice to hear that the videos are helping you. I hope you will learn all the new features from the new software and continue with grandma3 😀😀👏👏
What's the consensus on stability on 2.0? Is it better than 1.9.7? I have a show coming up I need to make from scratch so I could make it on either one.
If it was me then I would definitely go for 2.0. The stuff I have played with so far seems stable enough. There has been a few crashes on the onpc version when storing views with thumbnails. But for mailing shows I would use it. 😀
@@Event-Lightingthanks for the comment. The shaper helper and the tracking updates seem beneficial. I'm doing a theatre show with all Framing fixtures.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
You are more than welcome 😀😀
