Those look awesome, dazebtwn, thank you for sharing!! Looking forward to meeting you at SELEM 11!
Unfortunately, I don't have any cool abstracts to contribute at the moment. I do, however, have this new device I call the Color Crossfade circuit!>:)

This is a great way to motivate me to never ever post anything in this thread ever again. Good job!
But seriously... holy cow. Those are awesome.
I love seeing the Z5 stuff and then trying to figure out how to do that - if its even possible - with frame based lissajous

I tried a bunch of different exposure/aperture settings to no avail. Anyway, I am trying to get a "morié" look. While not analog and with only one scan head running, it still looked great in person. These were the best pics I could manage.

Still a great go at it! So many people have pushed lasers to do things that they are bad at (raster and animations). I think it is great when people push the newer tools to do what laser does very well. Color is tough when the system only does 8 bit and so many steps are thrown away for pallets, especially when fighting the turn on point and non-linearity of the diode-based systems.Quote:

I've been patching a bit and I'll have to post some gems later once it gets darker in here.
Here are a few low-quality phone pics of some simple/recent patches in DigiSynth. Neither the static view or quality of the camera capture the true nature of laser abstracts, but I hope you will enjoy.

And this little happy accident with the camera focusing as it took the pic...
