Around the Corner
MRM's simple guide to wraparound bumpers, lights, and moreBefore…
…and after
Step 1: Pick out some fixture you’d like to wrap around a corner. Headlights, taillights, and bumpers work great!
Fixtures can sometimes be wrapped around corners without this trick, but results are often smeary.
Step 1b (optional): Set fixture to cardinal lock.
This step is not always necessary, but is usually recommended unless you’re going for a specific effect.
Step 2: Set fixture to 3D mode.
Step 3: Move and rotate fixture over the desired corner.
Step 4: Set fixture to 2D mode.
Voila!
Experiment with different placements and angles to affect the final shape of the fixture.
