This past week I've been experimenting with CODM and find the documentation quite useful and reasonably easy to follow. As well, the step-by-step examples are excellent. It is well-done!
I'm at the requirements for the GUI interface at the moment and have created some pretty wicked-looking hypothetical organs in a week - doing so by cutting and pasting into an XML program. Since I'm going to be driving quite a few real physical ranks - a hybrid - I have to get good at this so that's where I'm concentrating at the moment.
With respect to stop jambs, all of the example organs contain no 3-D images of the stop activated (or not); for example, an activated stop simply lights up and an unactivated stop goes dark in comparison. The HauptwerkStandardImages - as far as I can tell - contain no 3-D images of a traditional stop in activated/unactivated position. So, I'm assuming that if I want that - and I do - I have to do my own bmp images of these states. This is not a trivial undertaking even though I'm pretty good with Photoshop.
Am I correct in this assumption?
I cannot seem to find the 3-D images of the standard St. AnneMosley's stops to use as an example; perhaps they're encoded in a way that obfuscates that. Anyways, I'm learning (but not nearly fast enough), and am excited at the enormous potential of this marvelous program!
