Lightshowpro is the software you are looking for. the webpage has the same name but with .com

@wsolyman I tried hooking it up to my monster brain serial port and light show pro wouldn't do anything. Do I have to omit the MB completely and hook directly into a lighting controller? I also have a DMX box that controls my smart lighting. I didn't see it as an option in the program. LOL I'm so sick of animation director. It crashed last night and corrupted my file after 4 hours of work.

It a laptop running the show and no there is not modification needed. I don't run LOR software at all.  You can have more than 1 RS485 output on your computer so one can be LOR and one can be AL etc. Try something like lighshowpro.

@wsolyman Is that with a laptop running the show or using the monster brain? Currently I have my Monster Brain running it. I was also under the impression that you needed modifications to the Animated Lighting controllers to run Light O Rama's software.

@equilibrium1736

You can use many other programs.  The controllers don't need Animation Director to run. I use at lease 2 different programs now. Whats more is that you can run Animated Lighting and Light-o-Rama at the same time :-)

@114avataraang No, I own Animated Lighting and wish I had Light O Rama. The software called animation director is over 7 years old and wont work on anything other than windows XP.

How do you get the intense flash/sparkle effect on the walls of the house?

How did you do the small "water fountains"?

@n2kmaster

Thanks, this show takes about 160hours to put up and about 10hr of programing for each min of music.

[wsolyman]

Yes, I think Animated Lighting is better. I have experience with both including the DMX versions.
