Problem with Robin Tarrantula

BECOME PART OF THE COMMUNITY - Sign up here

    I use Robin Tarrantula in a show, but have many problem with the visualisation in the 3D Window. For the DMX value, all seem to work.

    I use the GDTF file made by Robe. I can use the dim parameter to get a beam in the 3D, but it appear only for the flower part of the fixture. and it is impossible to get the color R, V, B and W. I think it's a problem with the geometry declaration of the fixture.

    Someone can help me with this problem ?

    Don't know if it helps, but I have had some issues with the Robe Spiider in real life on my Compact XT. Eventually I used a gdtf library created by Sille from the gdtf-share website, and now it works.

    I use Robin Spider too

    Facing many problems, I had to rebuilt the fixture type integrally. Based on the fixture type made by Sille (from MAfixtureshare^^) and thanks to the lesson of the learning platform.


    Now it works perfectly.

    But there was no other solution, I tried every fixture type I found online, without success.

    Mind sharing the fixture profile? I got it to work in the end, but still not ideal...

    Yes that's possible


    To be more precise, I did only the mode 6 which I use more frequently

    And I created a "Feature Group" to gather the Flower effect and color functions all together (but I don't know if it will be exported with the fixture type...)

    The feature group is organized with 2 sub groups,

    1. Effect

    - Activation of flower effect

    - Flower effect color macros

    - Strobe Flower effect

    - Dimmer Flower effect


    2. Color

    - Flower R

    - Flower green

    - Flower Blue

    - Flower White


    Concerning the 3D part, I asked Robe to send me the 3DS file. But, you won't see each "pixel" because I created only one Beam in the fixture type...

    Actually, I don't need the see them in 3D (I work everyday with them in a theater...)

    But it would be a great training exercise ^^


    I try to upload it in MAfixtureshare.
