Software used in kickstarter vid

Gogh

Hi,

for the enormous installation shown in the kickstarter video (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/740956622/blinkytape-the-led-strip-reinvented) in second 17/18 you seem to use a software to simulate / animate your installation. What software do use to do so?

That project is called the Crystal Archway, and we wrote a simulation and animation environment in Processing to run it:

It's based on an earlier project that we did, called the DomeStar:

I do actually have a new controller that I've been developing to handle large numbers of LED strips, based on LEDscape (https://github.com/osresearch/LEDscape). If you're interested, let me know.
