Nah, not quite correct... Today is the 50th Anniversary of the first manned spaceflight, Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space.

oops :P
Dammit google for misleading me

When the FB3 is 16bit and has network compatibility, maybe

because everyones lasers are totally capable of creating 65k shades

additionally as was pointed out you can connect a FB3 to a LAN with a $40 box... a lot cheaper than a .NET enclosure (and I own a .NET QM for the record)

and with each revision the FB3 has been getting more capable... like it has 8 color channels now for example (FB3-QS)

I certainly think aspect like the whole 3D side of the program will be simplified, but products like LC-max Will NEVER be dropped, LC-max might be difficult to handle for most laserists at the moment, but that doesn't make it a bad product at all.

have you seen beyond? the 3D interface looks JUST LIKE 3d studio max... I mean seriously identical... except your working straight to laser... so instead of paying a bunch of $$$ for LC-MAX and a bunch of $$$ for 3D studio max... its all built in to beyond...

if your doing 3D stuff beyond is going to be a REALLY big deal

Just like 3D studio max?....... o.o.........

Oh my god I love this!
And no I have not.
Have you?? how were you able to obtain this information may I ask?
I'm very happy to hear this
Well expect some tutorials on release date then I guess
I've grown up with max's interface

lol

If I am saying good things about pangolin I am not bullshitting you...

@master pj: there was a LEM in the US where people were showed how the 3D part of Beyond worked. I am not sure whether it was bill showing it or someone else did.
But i know they got a sneak preview.

If someone else did then he could really get into trouble with something like that, I highly doubt if it wasn't bill that he'd approve such actions.

Hmmm... Given some of your previous complaints about Pangolin, I wonder about that statement, Frank! (Just kidding dude...)

But in all honesty, I, too, have seen the Beyond interface, and I agree with Frank. It is so close to 3D Studio Max that you could easily forget which program you are working with. The only difference is that *everything* you do is sent to the projector in real time. (That's awesome!)

Bill has demo'd the 3D Beyond engine several times at SELEM, and I have to say that it is *seriously* cool stuff. If the rest of the software (the timeline editor, etc) is as nice as the 3D environment, it will be a quantum leap ahead of anything else.

hmm what similar to what version of 3ds max though?
also heh lc-max is realtime too in laser =)
