Well, I think we're starting to get ahead of ourselves alittle bit here....:rolleyes:

Tom, we don't have to have a "real" 3-D model, just a simulated one.....3-D space in a 2-D environment. We're in essence already doing that whith DL-2.:headbang:

The color model would behave the same on the surface. Take the existing Wheel and wrap in onto a sphere. H & S changes happen on the surface...no real big change there. Hue would move like Lattitude on a globe and Saturation moves like Longitude. (If you look at the current "wheel" you would be viewing the sphere from the "white" pole, and the edges of the wheel are very close to the "black" pole past the equatorial line)

{EDIT*** Maybe the sphere will "rotate" to keep the current position of H&S at the center....so rather than have the "circle-x" icon move over the globe, you have the globe move behind the icon....or maybe this too should be an option under user prefs "Define HSI visualization" or something like that}

But when you defiine a "point to point" movement, (which would engage a CMY mechanical path) It would be like sticking a toothpick through an orange (minus the messy juice;) )...going from one to another. Where one end of the toothpick is your starting color and the other end is your finishing color. (Any Frank Herbert fans out there....folding space like in DUNE)

The trick is how do you define that movement. I agree it could be a third encoder wheel, but it shouldn't be called "Intensity". Maybe it should be called "Color Change" or "Navigation".

A wheel is a bit overkill for a fucntion that only has two possible modes. Better for it to be a slot, maybe it could be included under the current "Mode" slots or "Engage"
{EDIT***Whooops I mean "Enable"} slots.

My understanding of the current HSI model it that fixture Intensity is already the "Intensity" of HSI...no reason to change that.

If I am wrong and have missed something critical here, and the model does need to change. Thereby negating all the currently color calibrated fixtures....What better time than now to do so, as there are so few calibrated fixtures in the library to begin with:confused:
