Cube model for dumb LEDs only displays single node #4652
I have just moved to 3D and and looking to model 3D coropresents. I use WS2811 nodes for the ribbons, and dumb RGB LEDs for the base.
I set up a 5x5x5 cube model for the base, which shows 5x5x5 = 125 pixels. Pixel size is big, because I want them to touch so the whole box glows, which matches the real world. This works fine for RGB nodes (smart pixels).
When the string type is set to 3 channel RGB, all the pixels but the first one vanish
I want to still be able to see the array of dumb pixels laid out in the display, but all controlled as a single RGB. I can't see any other string type option to do this.
To Reproduce
Set up a 5x5x5 cube model, which shows x 5 x 5 = 125 pixels.
Switch the string type (under string properties) to 3 Channel RGB (which works for my other dumb pixel props)
Switch the Protocol from WS2811 to dmx-open.
All the nodes disappeared except for the first one.
Expected behavior
I expect to still see the same 125 pixels, laid out in the same configuration as for smart nodes. Just controlled as a single DMX channel.
Screenshots
Attached for both configurations
Versions (please complete the following information):
OS: [e.g. Windows 10, Mac 10.14.5, etc...]
