MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL
If you set the B modifier above 127, the TV Screen will no longer obey the rules of 3D space and will always be
completely in front of a lower-numbered layer, whether it’s a background texture or a 3D object. In this example, the
foremost layer has been rotated on the Y axis.
Snow v1.2 (002/002)
The Snow animated gobo is quite complicated. In order to have complex snowflake shapes, you must create a folder
named "snowflakes" within the Mbox folder and place numbered (1 to 254) .vtxa files into it. You can copy .vxta files
from the model_cache folder into the snowflakes folder if you like.
In the left-hand image you see the default (000) snowflake shape: a round flake. In the right-hand image you see
several different flake shapes - the shape is set to random (255). If you set the shape to a particular value between 1
and 254, you will get the corresponding numbered shape from the snowflake folder. If no corresponding shape exists,
you will get the default shape.
Animation Speed controls the rate at which the snow falls. The A modifier selects the shape of the flakes. The B
modifier selects the number of flakes on the screen at one time. Texture Scale (on the same layer) will affect the size of
the flakes and Z-rotation will affect the direction in which the flakes fall.
B mod <= 127 B mod > 127
