Hey M -

My 3rd old daughter loves these Laserium shows on youtube. I'm getting her started while she's young.

Yeeeaah, baaby!! I'll let Ivan know this - it'll make his day... I'd think she'd especially like the 'Wild Life' one with the animations... my daughter likes that one the best..
well, besides 'Octopus' Garden', from the Beatles sho - (will post that and others as I get time, down the road... takes a bit o' time... ) that's her fav...

..Thanks for the nice comment! ...Will pass-along.......

peace..

Hey Kats -

Found a couple kool shots whilst 'cleaning house' at Images... these are not from 'DSOTM', of course, but some 'old-skool inspiration' for ya's, nonetheless... ..especially for you 'scan-thru fx' / 'add-on fx' and 'lumia lovers' groups, out there... keep up the great werk!





njoy...

Hi Jon

They're lovely. Any idea how these were created? are they just good abstracts or was there some exterior 'force' involved?

Cheers

...nope, just the layers-deep cycloid generators in the Laserium 6B console... classic analog controls, put-to-use, very well...

cheers...

Wow!

You're not kidding, I wish I could get great looking abstracts like those. I'm in awe at what the likes of Mike Dunn produce and try hard to replicate some of his cool effects using LD2000 or LivePRO's abstract generators. Sadly, i'm not even close to acheiving anything that looks like those in your post. What i'd really like is for some kind person to send me a list of settings for the LD2000 abstract sliders that show a really cool 'morphing' type of effect, I could then work from there.

The way the abstracts 'morph' in some of the 'professional' showtime shows amazes me. There must be a killer secret somewhere that explains how this is done ;-)

Thanks again Jon for taking the time to post those, it's an inspiration to me.

Keep in mind the 1st image was almost certainly produced with 4 scan pairs and chopper. The 2nd image almost certainly involved frequency and amplitude modulation at the image generator and then being processed as swept spirals...

Thanks 'Laserist', I guessed there was probably more to it. However, I keep getting told that lots of the 'abstract' parts of the shows that come with the LD2000 software were produced using nothing more than the abstract generator within LD2000 itself.

I'm able to get some cool looking effects but cannot acheive the 'morphing' and 'blends' that the professionals seem to be able to acheive.

I'll keep playing and maybe one day i'll get lucky. In the meantime all hints and tips are greatfully received

Please tell Ivan 'Woody' from Dayton Said 'Hello', and that I used my Choreographics (On a 1992 Mac Quadra 840AV) today , as I do almost everyday .. Still does Everything I ever want to do .. Here is ILDA Pattern Projected out of Choreographics today

Hey Kats -

Thank for all the great comments! - I'll pass them along to Ivan,

Hey Jeremy...

Have you tried loading up an ILDA frame and using that as the waveform, rather than the default triangle, sine, or square waves? You can get some very cool effects that way.

Also, have a look at the settings for some of the abstracts in Mike Dunn's shows. (Load the show's frame file, then fire up the abstract generator.) Seeing how he's done it will probably inspire you to try different things.

Finally, DZ posted a cool tutorial on making quick and easy abstracts here on PL a while back. Here's the link.
