	The tool begins with a Target Generator that is a combination of input forms that request specific user information about the shape the user wants to model (Megatree, Matrix, etc...) and details about the lights and their layout on the shape. The second part of the tool is an Effects Generator that allows the user to apply effects various effects (Spirals, Text,Snowflakes, Meteors, Garlands, Butterfly, etc...) to the Target Shape you had generated in the 1st step. The tool then builds a mathematical model for the Target and the Effects. It displays an animated gif for the user to preview. The next step is for user to create export files from Nutcracker to import into Sequencing software on their PC.
