It was at that point I enlisted my first open source tool in the job: Blender! I used the animation curves in Blender to play with lights in a scene and generate a convincing battle look and feel. Generating the scene information was hard.
It wasn't random enough I decided that if I could generate enough scenes where the lights moved on certain paths, I could just fade between them quickly using the built-in fader, and all would be good. I started thinking about the scene's problems. I showed it to my father-in-law and saw his disappointed face. I created a battle-like scene, thinking it was smart to start with the part I believed would be the most difficult. I was excited! Despite the fact that the manual was obviously a poor translation and the desk required a veritable procession of button presses just to get it to do something, I persevered. It had capacity for hundreds of scenes, fading, and even a nice jog wheel. Explore open hardware What is open hardware? What is Raspberry Pi? What is an Arduino? Our latest open hardware articles. The things we do for family, eh? Sometimes I wonder why I do it to myself, this not being the first time my perfectionism has led me to do far more work than a task originally required.
