Propeller-Powered Displays for Riot Games

My friends from Steve Wang's Alliance Studio are over in Taiwan setting up displays they created for Riot Games. Every one of them has a Propeller processor (most, more than one, all programmed by me) that controls the lighting.

The web site is not in English, but you can still enjoy the images.

    I saw the Ziggs one (the little guy with the bombs and huge grin) in person at PAX last year. He's one of my favorite characters in the game, so it was awesome to see it up close.

    The Ryze (blue guy with scrolls and lightning background), Katarina (red head with duel swords), Tryndamere (big guy with the horn helm and giant sword) look amazing!

    I agree with erco, it would be cool to see video of the lighting. At PAX the Ziggs one was in a brightly lit area, and I don't recall it having any lighting effects going when I saw it.

    So I looked up a video of Ziggs, and it does have some neat lighting effects. I guess they were turned off when I saw it, bummer. The video is from PAX East, I saw it at PAX Prime and it was in a different setting.

    Edit, found one from PAX Prime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX9Vot1ya6g
    Those lights were not working when I saw it, damn.


    Edit again, found your video of the Ryze lighting effect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuSMKciw0J8
    That looks deluxe! Nice work!

    Lighting is always a challenge -- especially at PAX -- and we have no control over it. When viewed in proper lighting, they look fantastic. At the LoL World Championship all the displays were outside the Staples Center; when the sun went down, they looked incredible.

    Alliance is currently working on a new display for Riot that I will, once again, control with a Propeller (EFX-TEK HC-8+ running as DMX master into DMX "bricks" from SuperBrightLEDs.com). I popped by their shop the other day to show them how to build LED panels with 3W LEDs (they'll probably use about 200 of them).

    That was test code; the final code was far more interesting.
