Chapter 13:
Effect Mode Options Descriptions
Effects can be applied to the Media File content (texture) mapped onto a
3-D object. Multiple Color and Geometric options are available in Effect
Mode parameters for both individual Graphic object and Global control.
Most of the effect options you will find described in this chapter are available for Effects 1 and
Effect 2 parameters at both the graphic control level for each Graphic Object as well as the
Global control level for the composite image. The following pages describe all the Effect Mode
options available along with a description of how each Modifier parameter functions with that
mode selected.
Check boxes in the upper right hand corner indicate
Object Effect Global Effect
whether this mode is available as a Graphic Object Effect,
a Global Effect or both.
Because the options for Effect 1 Mode and Effect 2 Mode are identical, you can apply up to
two options at the graphic level and another two options at the global level. This lets you
choose, for example, whether to apply a color effect option to an individual object or to the
composite image at the global level.
After you select a mode using either a Graphic Object Effect Mode or a Global Effect Mode
parameter, you can use the three associated Modifier parameters to adjust the effect. The
behavior of the Modifier parameters depends upon the selected effect.
• For a general information on Graphics Control features, see Graphics Engine Overview on
page 55.
• For a table of graphic level Effects parameter options, see Effect 1 and Effect 2 on page 76.
• For a table of global level Effects parameter options, see Global Effect Mode 1 and Effect
Mode 2 on page 108.
NOTE: Both Object and Global Effect parameters include options for swapping colors
to provide quick color conversions. Use the following DMX Values in any of the
Effect parameters to make these color conversions.
