+ | ====== Linear Fanning ====== | ||
+ | Linear fanning gives a regular offset to lights, like when you fold out a paper fan - the lights point out to follow the lines in the fan - like this one: | ||

+ | |||
+ | If you applied a basic linear fan to 3 lights they would face like below: | ||
+ | |||
+ | / | \ | ||
+ | |||
+ | On a little to the left, one in the centre, and one a little to the right. The slider for " | ||

+ | The first one fully to the left, the other two as they were before. If you increased the slider marked " | ||
+ | |||
+ | <- | -> | ||
+ | |||
+ | the first light fully to the left, the centre one pointing straight out and the last one fully right. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now if you left the settings the same, but applied them over 5 lights, you would get this: | ||
