Creating ILD frames

[carmangary]

You can also download the Moncha package from showtacle.com and use MonchaDraw.

Better to use the one that comes with the Fiesta demo. It has a little more functionality.

Can one draw/program own frames in ILD SÔS? I though it was only for converting/manipulating different ilda-types..

You can easily draw frames in inkscape and run them through ILD SOS to convert them to ild files. ILD SOS can load DXF and SVG files created from any graphics drawing program. This way, you can use the easy-to-use graphics program to make laser art a lot more easily than you can with most dedicated laser drawing programs.

Is it possible to animate frames? Like drawing a simple line and then make it rotate?

You can add rotation and other effects in your playback software, like spaghetti or LFI.

With Spaghetti, you can apply effects like rotation, color change, etc, and then save it back out as a new ILDA file. You can then use those ILDA files in Spaghetti or other laser show applications. For creating animated ILDA files, Spaghetti can be a very powerful and easy to use utility.

Is there any tutorial or documentation on how to use those features?

It's pretty easy. Just add ILDA files to the timeline then apply effects to make them move, rotate, or whatever you want. Then, set the Start and End markers on the timeline at the beginning and end of what you want to turn into and ILDA file. Then, right click on the time line and select "Export to ILDA" and enter a filename. It's the same process as creating a laser show except that you are exporting a snippet to an ILDA file.

I managed to manipulate the ilda file allright, but there were no Export to ILDA option when I right clicked :/


EDIT: Oh wait I found it, the option was blank! No text. A bug?

 

[carmangary]

You are right. Somehow the text got deleted! I fixed it and it will be in the next release.
Thanks for letting me know of this bug!

Also, where did you get that picture for your avatar? It's kind of creepy.
