The Shape Generator in Avolites is a powerful tool for adding movement and dynamic effects to lighting. Instead of manually programming individual fixture movements, the Shape Generator applies pre-built algorithms to attributes like pan, tilt, dimming, and color, making it easy to create complex looks with minimal effort.
Applying Shapes to Fixtures
Shapes are added by selecting a group of fixtures, choosing the Shape Generator, and applying an effect to a specific attribute, such as pan and tilt. The generator automatically calculates a movement pattern—such as a circle—relative to the fixture’s current position. Adjustments to size and speed ensure the effect fits the energy of the moment without overwhelming the stage or video screens.
Fine-Tuning Shape Movement
The Shape Generator includes controls for phase, spread, and offset, which determine how fixtures interact with the shape. Phase staggers the start positions of each fixture, creating wave-like effects. Spread divides fixtures into segments that move at different intervals, while offset allows for even more intricate variations. Adjusting these parameters refines the look and ensures a cohesive, professional appearance.
Combining and Saving Shapes
Multiple shapes can be layered together, such as combining a pan swing with a tilt effect to create a unique sine wave motion. Once a desired look is achieved, it can be saved as an effects palette, allowing for quick recall in future programming. Slowing down and scaling back shapes before fine-tuning ensures greater control and smoother execution in different worship environments.
