I thought I would try out a new rig build to change things up a bit. I don't know if anyone else has done a timelapse of building a rig in MA3D before, so I hope you find it interesting.
It is a bit 'worts and all' as I changed a few things about while building, including changing fixture dimensions as models were not quite right, changing trusses, making alterations etc. It will evolve the more I use it, but will see what happens over time.
There is no fixed schedule for uploading videos, it is a case of as and when as I am still a key worker here in the UK as I have no freelance work coming up until 2021, and night shifts are taking their toll a little bit. As I said, I hope you find this interesting, you might find it boring. Who knows. :)
Inspirations:
This design was partly off the cuff, but based around an idea for a rig I thought up while listening to Coheed and Cambria. The main feature from that was the VL5 surrounds for the LED screens.
The trusses I just wanted to try something a little more aesthetically pleasing rather than just straight, functional trusses, and rows of moving lights to try out some interesting effects patterns, and see what is possible.
The LEDBeam 150s I would not normally have thought off, but after seeing how nimble they are and how effectively they can be used while being such a small fixture, I thought I would try them out. Thanks to Chris Curran for the inspiration (LD for Steve Hackett, formerly for Lifesigns, Ultravox to name a couple).

104x Varilite VL5 LED (using VLX Model as the fixture profile still does not work correctly in MA3D)
6x Robe BMFL Followspot
128x Robe LedBeam 150
66x SGM P-5 RGBW (Wide lens)
10x Elation Arena LED Par Zoom
