Quote - [quote callad] In between note: Got my Easy Pose GEL Projector working nicely today :) The glass plane is very small 0.25 X 0.25 and the preview works very precise.

Will take me some days to create loadable GEL Projectors duf files with all settings in place, then another week maybe to create several GEL presets.

If you have any idea's on what kind of GEL presets you want, let me know. (Must be 1:1 ratio images)

 

Ooo stain glass window /  with a peak at the top.  Not sure my little diagram will work.                             |  |

I see what you mean :) That would be possible to some extent. My gels work with a dazspotlight at this moment, so they will create circular lighting patterns. There will be no -overshoot- of the glass plane, so no unwanted light in your scene apart from the pattern on the glass plane.

A stained glass window will work, but small in the middle of the 'hotspot'. At this moment the pattern on the glass mask is projected razor-sharp into the scene. That is not good for all circumstances, so I will also see if I can use a tiny meshlight to make the given pattern a bit fuzzy.

There is room for both kind of light-gels imh, razor-sharp and fuzzy. Will see what I can do in the coming week or two :)

Oh, by adjusting the 'feather' there is a nice fall-off to the sides, will see if I can make special presets for that. That won't show in the preview though..
