Showing Gobo ProjectionsShowing Gobo ProjectionsThe gobo textures and color of a selected light instrument can be projected in a rendered simulation. This rendered image allows you to preview the effect of the gobo texture.
To be able to project a gobo texture, the lighting instrument must:
● Have one or two gobo textures specified
● Be aimed at an existing focus area specified in the Focus field of the Object Info palette
● Have its associated light source turned on (either right-click the light, and select Turn On from the context menu, or turn on the light from the Visualization palette)
● Have Draw Beam deselected in the Object Info palette
The following requirements must be met:
● The design layer containing the instrument with gobo texture must also contain 3D geometry (any 3D object that is capable of accepting a Renderworks light) to project the texture
● The Renderworks product must be installed
● Either Fast Renderworks or Custom Renderworks can be used
For Custom Renderworks, at a minimum, Shadows and Textures must be selected in the custom Renderworks settings.
To select the custom settings, select View > Rendering > Custom Renderworks Options. For more information on Custom Renderworks settings, see Custom Renderworks Options.
