Hi !
How to save a light state (dim + focus + colors…) in a list of memories to restore them with different times ? Which object or tool is best suited ?

Hey! Max has a few objects that deal with saving and restoring presets. Here’s a video that explains some of these objects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRCCYjBMTFA
If you need something more custom, you can look at beam.snapshot
and beam.sig
that allow you to turn Beam signals into dictionaries and back. One thing you could do is create dictionaries of the lighting information, and make beam.sig
turn these dictionaries into lighting signals when you need to. You could even write JavaScript code that creates these dictionaries on-the-fly.
So to summarize:
- if you want to stay with something out-of-the-box, look at that pattr, pattrstorage, and preset objects in Max.
- if you want something more custom, look into dictionaries,
beam.snapshot
andbeam.sig
.
Hope this helps!
