Well I was just mucking about with DMX the other night, and came across a cool effect I could do. It looks kinda like a spirograph effect!

:D

EDIT: Damn, totally forgot there was a multimedia section, I need to hang around more :-X
 





I love that song.

Nice effect. can you explain a little more what you did to create it.
 
Well basically, I just ran the standard patterns over DMX. Then, DMX gives you the options to change the colour, make it flash, draw it, add centre/horizontal/verticle rotation, and be able to make it zoom in and out, aswell as move right or left. Basically, I just ran the patterns through, and brought up the centre rotation slider (Spins from the middle). I took a screen shot of the DMX proggy. Notice how the program is called Freestyler, and the song in the vid was also called Freestyler? I only just noticed that  ;D

Go ahead andy, can never have too any vids!

And yes, freestyler is free. Though you do need a USB to DMX interface, obviously lol.
 
Wonder if you could make a USB to DMX converter......... ::) google................
 
You can, but its damn complicated. If you try, I can almost guarantee you'll be working with alot of SMD omponents.
 
Like this, this is the inside of my DMX USB pro.

Mike, its really designed for lighting, not lasers, but you can still run lasers from it if you want. I could make up a fixture file for the laser, if you want to try it. I believe you have the scanpro's ?

I use it instead of that other program now, I only figured out how to use it with the laser a few weeks ago.
