Do you think 64 pixels would be enough for that?
You could try and see what a matrix looks like,
Build a target like this
Model type? Matrix
Number of strings? 1
Number of pixels per string ? 64
Number of folds? 8
This will give you an 8x8 grid. Now try some effects.
Scrolling text might work, butterfly should work, animated gifs prob are not going to look like anything with such a small pixel count.
Most people on this forum are talking 8 strings of 50 and such, one user has 48 strings of 64.
The more pixels, the better the effects.
Like I said, the advantage of Nutcracker is you get to try these things out.
You might next try 2 strings of 64 pixels. Build a diff target and try effects on it.
good luck
