Layers
The Mbox Extreme 3D Environment provides up to five different layers that can be used as
Backgrounds or 3D Objects. You can use any combination of Backgrounds or 3D Objects up to five
total. For example, you can create two Backgrounds and three 3D Objects or one Background and four
3D Objects.
Layer Components
Due to the complexity of the 3D Object manipulation, all layers are comprised of two components: a
Texture (30 channels) and Object (23 channels). Even when not using 3D Objects, the Object channels
contain parameters used to control attributes of the Texture.
Note: Transparency must be set to 100% on both the Texture and Object channels to view a
Background or 3D Object. The Transparency levels on the Background and 3D Object components for
the same layer are additive. If both levels are set to 50%, the image transparency appears to be about
25%.
Note: If 3D Objects are not being used, the Transparency channel should be set to 100% in the fixture
library.
Layer Hierarchy
The Layer Hierarchy, the order in which layers appear, is determined by numerical order and layer
content. 3D Objects always appear in front of Background layers. Background layers appear in
numerical order, back to front.
