Achilles ein Stück mit Fersen

First of all, yes, using a 3D sphere would make more sense. I started with a quick test using a circle as a mask for noise and added some more elements to create this "sun."

The "sun" is projected on the back of the stage and opens the show with a sunset.

There you see a basic rebuild of the sun.

By controlling the noise, transform, constant, and the two blooms, I can control the sun for the show. These parameters are controlled by the lighting console via sACN in the end.

Additionally, I added a "gobowheel" to change between the sun and other video sources with fade time, also via DMX.
