I like showsim, the only problem was lot of work, and function, isn't not visual yet, I dont understand well all showsim can do.

Like Line,bucket, delay, time code..etc, its technical, but i think its more difficult to devellop creativity when all is surrounded of code of effect and stranges word.

I only do short sequences like finales chains or short comet/mines sequence with showsim cause its hard to put effort to do a nice completed work.

The worstest thing was RTC3 Pyro, but it was the grand-father of the 3D scripting design.
I alway dreamed to script my own show on a computer when i'm young.. its now possible with technology.

No more RTC3, Now we have better!

Rebonjour,

J'ai déboursé un petit 200$ pour un logiciel de pyro, je vient tout juste de terminer une conception assez costaud.

Je suis aux courrants de Showsim et d'Afterglow, le problème c'est que j'ai toujours eu de la misère avec ces logiciel, que se soit pour jouer avec et synchronisé à une chanson. Je préfère une version 2D, mon PC tire moins de jus et celas m'aide a faire mieux mon travail!

@ Fireworks admin, its possible to change my nickname to FlashSalute?

@ Fireworks admin, its possible to change my nickname to FlashSalute?

I probably could - there's a could of not-easy ways to do this. The simplest is to delete "reloadable shell" as a user and have you register FlashSalute to the same email address - but that's probably not the way you'd want to do it. I could take a look and see if I can do it in the database directly ... but, in general, this is not something I really want to have to start doing in case it gets screwed up for some reason.

Your Finale Fireworks show is nice ... but it seems to stop at 1:40 ... is that right? Impressive though - now I'm tempted to look at doing this also!

Yeah I stopped the project at this times, I think next time I will make a mixed soundtrack, not put all single song in one display, its benn very hard and boring to remake a chorus another time.

And i'm exagerated too, i put lot of shell, its out of business for this kind of event.

I can export data from Finale to Pyromate Nighthawk/Smartshow & ODA Q-Fire firing system, and to this show into real data to fire real display. its professionnal software, made for enthusiast or serious people from company.

But actually a new software is been created from Showsim Manager, Kyle Kepley, this guy made an awesomes game called Afterglow with a complete effect list!

Serious Fireworks Game growing up, all because a simple roller coaster tycoon 3 and the passion of real people loved to make creation at work and make real virtual competition with trophy and award.

Hello all, I have been reading your forum and wanted to introduce myself, as well as a simulation contest we are having with real prizes! This thread seemed fitting to post this in.

I have been working with Dominator Fireworks in Liuyang China, and Finale Fireworks choreography software. Dominator has simulated a good bunch of their consumer fireworks and is having a contest, here are the details if you are interested. Dominator also hopes to have simulations in the showsim and possibly afterglow versions of their professional product in 2010...also, it's hard for me to keep up with the forums daily, so if you have a question please email me at ed@dominator fireworks.com, thanks.





This contest is scheduled to start February 1st, this is when the next Finale release is expected which will include the Dominator product, stay tuned for updates and links to go live!


Dominator Fireworks is happy to announce that the first batch of product has been simulated in the Finale Fireworks program.

To kick off the release, we want to offer The Dominator Spring Showdown Contest, with a Prize of $500.00 in Dominator product. Product will be shipped free to legal states, GLASS, the PGI, checks or other payment may be made to non USA participants or available for pick-up at participating dealers nationwide.

The initial batch of products is limited, however we have plans to include most consumer cakes and shells and all of the 1.4g Pro line in Finale as well. The Spring Showdown contest will end April 15th and will lead into a second contest starting May 1st with more products available. The second contest will be larger and the winner's show will be sponsored to be fired in the Unlimited Class C Competition at the PGI. Participation in the Spring Showdown contest will be an added bonus to the judging of the second contest, so we encourage you to enter into both.

Spring Showdown Contest Rules:

- 4 minute maximum runtime. 500 ques max.
- Music or not, your choice.
- Must use currently simulated Dominator product only. The product is being made available in both the pro and consumer versions, We will allow the break apart cakes feature to be used.
- Must be 18 or older, or have a parent we can contact.
- You can enter your show at anytime up until April 15th, at which time it will be closed and we will review all shows. But entering earlier will get you more votes!
- To officially enter the contest, send an email to ed@dominatorfireworks.com with a link to your show, or letting me know it has been saved to the shows tab in Finale, and under what username. If you have video capturing software you may upload it to you tube and post here as well.

- Be sure to include your name, screen name, and an email address and phone number you can be reached at.
- The winner will be announced April 30th to allow plenty of time to get you your prize for the 4th 2010. A winner will be chosen based on popular vote and a judging panel.
