Maybe a glass tube where you project down the length... the center stays the same but it effects the outside of pattern. The edges remind me of a half cylindrical lens effect. Maybe a lens with a hold drilled in the middle.

very nice!
try adding some depth effects and a world rotation event. ;)

Thanks! I saw that the other day when you posted it. Very cool.
the rednex are such a guilty pleasure.. i could not resist.

Drooling over those abstracts. Very nice work! Not so much about the music, though :pQuote:

Plans trip to science center. Could be the most worthful 6 hour drive I have ever made.
The simple answer is, "Sure - Thursday and Friday nights in St. Louis!"Quote:

Shutter speed artifacts, real intensity artifacts that your eye doesn't care about - but the camera intensifies, and the lack of that unique dome environment are just a few of the issues that diminish the experience. Throw in that synchronization and mastering rights issues rear up as soon as you record a live performance to music - the answer becomes not any time soon…
When I find some serious time to just play I'll be trying to do some high dynamic range lumia shots. I've never been happy with the stuff I've shot either on film or digital of lumia.

if only it was that easy... If there were laserium shows in my area, i would be haunting that place.
i have seen laserium shows in person, both in planetarium domes and at socalem. i'm fully acquainted with the difficulties of filming laser shows and getting the quality somewhat above "embarrassed to show"
it will never be accurate, but it can be acceptable.

Based on the large amount of laserium footage posted on youtube by laserium1 and dslasers (i assume that's you and jon), the limitations you mention aren't insurmountable.

Hi guys.
Does anyone know why when I open my abstract in LSX why it only ever goes to 50% size?
If I shove a Width SizeXY under it, the abstract gets bigger but disappears into nothing still at 50% size. All pre-made examples do this too.
Graham
because you're using the abstract target parameter. set it to default in the lissajous editor window.

Where does one acquire one of those projectors? I have seen one once at SELEM ... gathering dust back stage. I would love to create something similar.
These are Laserium projectors and consoles. This is one above is currently installed at the Science Center in St Loius. I don't think one has ever made it to SELEM, I know some of the smaller LFI and like ones have.Quote:
