Lucentury^™

Costume Light Animation Technology

Using Animation Software

In this approach you work with a computer animation specialist (or use Lucentury services) to create a detailed animation of lights for your performance.

The computer animation specialists can use any animation software (like Adobe Flash) to create color animation of the costumes.

The resulting computer animation is then used to automatically translate the color animation to light animation on the costumes.

By delegating computer animation to anybody familiar with Adobe Flash or other animation software, the choreographers get their vision translated exactly into lighting sequences and effects.

This approach is very intuitive, visual and iterative, because the computer animation specialist can easily adjust the result to choreographer's liking.

If the show uses live music, Lucentury software will split the animation into visual and audio cues, The cues can be triggered and adjusted in real-time so that the light animation is seamlessly synchronized with live music.

Using DMX

In this approach, the lights on garments can be controlled using DMX protocol, which is the most popular way to control lights on stage and in nightclubs. Any engineer familiar with DMX can operate the garments much as they would stage lighting. There are dozens of DMX software products and hundreds of DMX consoles available on the market, they are all compatible with Lucentury wireless DMX adapters, so that stage lighting engineers can continue using their preferred DMX tools.

Lucentury wireless DMX adapters for costumes fully support standard DMX protocol.
