Values below the midpoint move the center point toward the left as you approach 0. Values above the midpoint move the center point toward the right as you approach 255 (100%).

Modifier 2: Not Used

Modifier 3: Not Used

Image Scale and Rotate

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 52

This option lets you scale and rotate the media file texture applied to a 3-D object’s surface independent of Graphic Object rotation you set with the Rotation parameters (see Rotating a

3-D Object on page 47). This allows scaling and rotating outside the bounds of the 3D object.

Modifier 1: Scales the texture. The default DMX value of 0 = no adjustment. As you increase the DMX value to 255 (100%), the single image to scales to an increasing number of multiple images similar to tiling.

Modifier 2: Sets the texture rotation angle. A DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Values above the midpoint rotate clockwise 255 (100%) = maximum rotation. Values below the midpoint rotate counterclockwise to 0=maximum rotation.

Modifier 3: Sets the rotation speed from a DMX value of 0 = static to 255 (100%) = maximum rotation speed.

Tip: Try combining image rotate and object rotate for a multiple effect
