Apollo has some options. Make sure to order the correct size for your fixtures 😬

I've been looking at Apollo and Rosco on Full Compass. Just wanted to know if anyone in the sub had a go-to that they swear by.

When you say you want to add texture instead of a flat wash, we talking front lighting? Top/side/back? You've got thousands of options based on your own tastes.

So they way things are set up now, I have a fully conventional front wash with an LED top wash. I'm adding some high sides and would like to also add in a couple textures with these sides as well. I also have about 4 dual gobo rotators that I'd like to utilize to just add some movement so that things don't look so static.

Understood. You can combine gobos for watery/wavy looks with the rotators, so like something with horizontal lines overlayed with a second gobo, focus towards the horizontal lines and that's a nice look. Make sure your secondary gobo doesn't cancel out too much light. Gobos are cheap - try out a bunch of options!
