Been away for few months.
Okay, so I haven't tried OLA myself. From the description it seems it can import SVG. Many tools can export to SVG. Inkscape is a good vector drawing program and is free.
I personally use a program which exports to DXF, then use this program called "ILD SOS" to convert...
Hey guys, new version of Blender has an official plugin included that can render the frame or animation into SVG files which you can later open and edit in your laser show program.
But it doesn't support color exporting, so this DXF renderer plugin (which is pretty similar to the now-official...
Yes, if you have an SVG file or similar instead of JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIF, TGA, etc. and it does not have embedded pixel data, then you can use automatic tools like the one above.
The ones I've tried have problems with always getting the color data right though, like when you have one side of...
Tenumex, send me a pm, email, or make a thread and I'll tell you the options. Don't want to go off topic. But basically you have to choose between what hobbyists would consider overpriced software or relatively cheap but with a steep learning curve.
Hi. I don't use a converter mostly, I trace manually. Automatic converters don't always work too well, especially for low-res or compressed graphics like the above one I traced.
If there are any questions you can ask here.
The manual is a little old. Thinking of writing my own.
If you're new to Blender, blender.org and Blender Cookie | Great Blender tutorials and training are great sites for tutorials.
Re: STICKY-Eye or camera damage which is in most danger??
In my first post I said I was posting that for anyone "new to lasers". That's what I mean by newcomer, not someone new to the forum.
And I'm not saying he is.
Re: STICKY-Eye or camera damage which is in most danger??
And I never said that's what you meant.
I warned newcomers what not to assume from what you said.
I hear people ask this a lot.
There are some programs that can do that. Quickshow can't export back to ILDA and the programs that can do this are a bit expensive for this.
So if you'll like your bitmap logo or some other graphic to be converted to ILDA file just post it here or pm it to me if...
Re: STICKY-Eye or camera damage which is in most danger??
If anyone new to laser safety is reading this, this doesn't mean your eyes will recover completely from any laser damage. This should be obvious but people keep surprising me with their lack of common sense so I had to post this.
