In this assignment, we used 3 DMX PAR lights to create a light composition. Since our light is not able to move, and we have 3 of them, we thought of making a composition simply playing with placing lights in different positions in the space. Then we thought of the traditional Chinese sundial, where the light is gradually moving and create different shadow.
In this assignment, I was in charge of the coding task. And the biggest problem we encountered was misinterpreting the variable “lightdimmer”. We thought it was a number like “speed”, then we set the light dimmer to a small number which does not light up the lights at all. Then after we realized it was actually brightness, we fixed the code and everything worked.
