OLA - Original Laser Art - SVG to ILDA conversion proggy

**3dmalester** · 05-14-2018, 05:07

Hello!
Thanks for the great program!
But I have a problem: when I import an SVG file with animation, then empty frames that do not have points are truncated and the timing is lost ((
how to fix this moment? it would save me a lot of time!

Hi,

I managed to convert our logo from svg into ild with the program. When I open it with the ILDA viewer it looks great. File attached
But my laser projector SD-RGB500 doesnt seem to recognize the file?

Any ideas why? (sorry I am totally new to lasers)

Your ILD file is 24bit color and some systems can't deal with that. I used LaserBoy's 'chil' (Chinese laser) effect to convert the file to palette ILD. Hope this helps, and welcome to the Forum.

The chil effect does a lot more than reduce 24-bit to palette. It also re-optimizes for those sd card readers. If you just want the conversion to palette, you can do just that. You can also choose to save 2D as 3D if you need format 0.

I think it only works with Pangolin QM2000 and EasyLase (or EasyLase compatible DLL) outputs. Maybe there is a EasyLase compatible DLL for Helios?

Ahh OK, thanks for your reply.

Since even the updated link doesnt seem to work anymore: Does anyone still happen to have Zoof's magical .exe laying around?

I’m new to lasering and was reading this thread. Now it’s 2024, are there new and better ways to convert line art to ild?
