Colors from Nutcracker to Vixen

keebler125 commented 11 years ago

the colors are way off when importing from nutcracker to vixen 2.1.4 i sent sean a chart showing how much some of the colors had to be varied and there was a suggestion that the intensities be lowered in nutcracker.. i do not know how to do that. please advise thank you

Keeb,

Got it. I will discuss with you tonight. Can you tell me the 'shift' you are looking for to adjust your lights? You mentioned adding (or perhaps it was subtracting) intensity. We have the ability to do this with code (It requires us to translate all the RGB values to HSV values, change the intensity -- which is the V of HSV -- and translate it back to RGB). The routines to translate already exist. Just a matter of executing the code to do this mid-stream during generation. I will probably build a separate function that will operate directly on the master.nc file (for ease of use and easiest for re-coding). Seems like you have already figured out the changes needed. I just have to know what those are exactly.

Kurt,

As far as the variant, I would like to see something like a sliding bar that I can adjust the value. Since not all the color corrections are that extreme, some like the red are dead on. The blues and greens are the ones that are off and way off.

Below find the chart I submitted to sean showing my corrections.

I hope this helps you. As you can see, some are VERY off while others only moderate (thus the sliding variant).

As you can see from the chart. I have the hex values, the hue variations and the vixen values. (I wrote a simple code in excel to calculate it all for me based on what I was wanting)

Thank you

Ken
