if you say so :)
i will tell the girl it was the peer pressure! :)
Yes, AT Laser is one of our dealers in China. I went to visit them a few months ago and they have a very impressive operation. Seems like they have very good quality, and are very committed to customer satisfaction.
They used the Discoscan lens for this, which you can read about and see a video here:

The only way to tell for sure would be by taking measurements. However, there is one great thing I love about the Discoscan lens. It promotes safety in a kind of subconscious way. Greg Makhov and I have said for years that safety is increased if the side of the spot at the closest point of audience access is increased. Problem is, this is heresy to some laserists... But by using the Discoscan lens, this happens as a natural course of the technology. So laserists get what they want (a very dramatic display with beams everywhere) and the audience gets increased safety. In many cases, the increase in safety is completely unbeknownst by the laserist who installed the Discoscan lens...
Best regards,

I just got bit but have not even had time to get in to the 2knet package yet just got my first wally world fog machine for $20 and am playing the Lasershow files via fbs to scanpro20 ilda/ dmx board smoke alarm is still ringing in my ears much fun though never thought a $20 smoke machine would do squat cough cough no significant residue a little hard on the lungs though!!!
I knowI pointed to Awakenings in another thread, but search out their videos seriously, Hugos displays are not only mind blowing but you also get to see a lot of tricks and effects you don't see commonly anywhere else.
He uses a discoscan in his displays, look below the mirror ball here:
I believe the effect is called laser rain and is an old time effect originally done with exclusively with special mirror balls.
