attached is a 3 second video of the attract mode for las vegas, on the right is the way it works the best and is ready to go on the left is the artistic approach which i've been struggling with for the last 3 days. i can't get it right and it does my nut in. because of the awkward shape and that they are connected it's confusing me and i've not got confidence in the way it looks either way so please can someone help with tech method to make the lamps nice for the name trail..

i've tried blacking the letters out and doing an overlay image to have the right hand side letters overlayed with the left hand shading etc. no joy

i've tried overlapping and blending lamps i think.

This is where blended lamps can help. As you light up the whole image in photoshop and then MFME will split the image up by way of blending the lamps. You can create a 'mask' in MFME which acts as the place where the lamp would be positioned on the image and then assign it with a lamp number. Have a look at my King kebab layout and look at the king kebab logo between the reels and the trail to see how to set them up (There are 8 lamps on 1 image).

as no1 says deffo blend the lamps you can light up each individual letter that way, so each lamp would be as follows

LAS 3 lamps lamp mask,  left, middle, right

vegas 5 lamps, far left, left, middle, right, far right

strip 5 lamps same as above.

i did this with the fellowship (fifth lamp not showing in image below)

make sure each letter has a lamp on it
