Circular-type matrix. How do I lay this out?

[spaulgal]

Hello Folks--

How do you recommend I setup the layout for this item? (See photo)
I'd like for it to act like a little matrix, but it's not symmetrical.
It's a total of 207 pixels. Single string. Starts at lower left and zig zags bottom to top, top to bottom.
This goes inside a vintage light fixture which will now be a display prop. (Mole Richardson 416)

Custom model. Start by calculating your max width and height. Then put the numbers in the grid where the pixels are, in the order it is wired.
Then, you can make a submodel that behaves like a matrix with missing nodes... if you want that, as "Default" and "Per preview" may be good enough.

Would love to see photos / video of how it looks when it's done. Haven't seen a lot of pixels behind Fresnel lens type props.

Thanks.

We’ve done a bunch of fressies — pixels work great! These have a similar but much smaller pixel array (4x4 I believe). It's a nice display, the pics do not do it justice. The 416 will be a bigger project — it’s got a 20” lens. It's currently disassembled. We are restoring the fixture and molevator first. It will have the pixel array attached to the interior reflector and a 3 watt pixel spot light mounted at the base of each leg to light up the structure itself.
