I run a DJ company and recently upgraded from the basic one effect lasers to a RGB ILDA unit (ebay type SDcard+ILDA port 280mw RGB). It is spiffy and works well for our application and I am now wanting to design and make my own logos and frames for it. I have searched tons and what i think i am missing is mainly the terminology. As with the china lasers i am using ishow which i am not married to by any means. I am trying to make a basic logo for our trade show booth. I made it (looked great when ishow previewed it) but when i send it to the laser the faster the Kpps the more sloppy and scribbly it gets, at a very slow speed it looks much better but it obviously flashes a lot and still has several ghost tracks between the letters. Reverse engineering the .ild's that came with it i see many points that are black probably to assist in the path the laser takes between objects.
I have see others just asking to get their art made in to a ild file which would be great but I would like any suggestions on maybe some good how to's or small tutorial's i can follow to get better. I would not mind buying some inexpensive software but i may only make a hand full of these and do not require the pro level design software.
I have have seen suggestions for the ILD SOS software to convert vector files to the ild format. Will this figure out all of the point needed to make the image display correct?
Thanks
