I've just been Pangoed!

[allthatwhichis]

This laser stuff is fun! and I don't even have a laser yet!

This confuses me... How do you enjoy being Pangoed with no laser?

I dunno, I love building huge multi laser shows in the LivePro enhanced reality preview window... Even though I don't have 20 lasers, it's great fun to dream

But you can't beat the real thing...

What scanners are you running now? With a little projection zone adjusting I have been watching 5 projector shows in a way that simulates having 5 projectors on one. Need to have decent... I mean really good scanners though.

I'm a bit slow today, so not sure if you mean actual scanners or virtual scanners in LivePro, so here's both...

I got two x 1 watt green with errr, dare I say it, Laserworld 50 ahem k galvo's, soon to be replaced with Scanslp 30's... And one x 2.3 watt RGBB with ScanPro 40's, I really like these scanners. Only time I saw tighter graphics in the Creation show was on a set of Cambridge...

But I set up each zone (for example zones 10 - 15) all to go to scanner1 and set the preview window to mirror the projectors. Then sit back and watch beat synced shows in the preview window, dreaming of the day I can afford 10 RGB's But I don't hold out much hope of that happening anytime soon

I meant you main RGB's scanners. I thought you had CTs. I use zones 1, 6, 7, 8, and 11 and changed each zone's geometric correction so zone 1 is half size and the rest are a third, then I position them like:

.......1
6...........7
8...........11

Then I set each zone to use scanner 1 and keep the whole scanning area, all 5 zones together, to fit within 20 degrees, what I normally watch beamshows at. I have been going into Showtime on the beamshows I like and adjusting the track settings to project only to certain zones. I am actually thinking of starting to make my shows like this from the beginning. Also, when I get to a LEM with multiple QM owners, I can just set the projection zones to project on other scanners. When using only my projector there is a lot of flicker because of the amount of points being projected, but it gives you a good idea of how it will look on multiple RGB projectors.
I really need to make a tutorial on this before Stuka comes after me but it is not to be done on scanners that can't take punishment. Mine don't make a sound, but... they had better not.

Hi Allthat

Yes it does sound a bit backwards doesn't it?
Q voice of Garth from Wayne's World......I'm getting caught up in the journey man

I guess It's kind of like the experience when I've turned on a laser pointer and after I've admired the cool beam and colour ,I'm left with a slightly frustrated feeling like "This beam needs to be scanned"

I'm coming at it from the other end this time and working on the ability to scan a beam first.

I figure that this way I can buy the components that don't drop much in price and take longer to learn how to use first.
That way hopefully I should be ready to rock when i get my lasers.

Can't help thinking that I'll be ready to pop by the time I get my first laser though.

........Ok, now focus stay calm, all good photons come to those who wait.......

Oh who am I kidding? I want a laser!!! It's burning a whole in me!

I wish Unfortunately my projector is now too tight to fit CT's in, and then of course there is the price tag... Nice scanners !!!!!

I set my zones up similar to you, but I don't plug a projector in, just view it in the preview window...
