  Christmas light emitter

  Posted by Tom Webster on December 7, 2007 at 3:59 am

  I have been working on a small project to make the outside of a house look like they spent tons of cash on Christmas lights and was looking for an emitter that I could use as a Christmas Tree Light and have not had much luck. Blinks, different colors etc.

  I am using the fully updated PI 3.0.2

  Do you have any ideas on how to make a string of Christmas lights?

  Thanks

  Tom

  I hate to see such a simple question go unanswered.

  I did this with just the “Stage Lights” emitter from the “Default” library.

  Altering the size and color palette and even the particle shape helps too.

  But that is a fine starting point since it’s a “line” emitter. Try using a few different versions with different color schemes, shapes, etc. and expand from there.

  I hope that helps.

  Peace (and Festive Solstice!)

  Thanks Sockratease

  That was just what I needed and should be able to complete this in one evening. I’m new to PI and have not developed a good processing for browsing the emitters and realizing what they do.
  Anyway. Thank you for the help and Happy Holidays
  Tom
