    Yeah, I don't know if it could be simplified and still look cool but be playable by a DT40W projector?

    Don't think you'd even be able to draw 1 of those curvy lines fast enough let alone all of them

    Could probably simplify it a bit by removing some of the curves, but it wouldn't be as "trippy"

    Sure would look good on a scrim - right up to the point where the scanners screamed & melted!
    (Found out the hard way - rasters images drawn too large can do that too... )

    Hmm, MAYBE with a very small scan angle...?

    Use the new video projector capabilities in Beyond to use it in a show. I think this is an ideal use of that new feature.

    Actually that is rather easy to do in a 3d program. See my shows. I do it all the time but with 50% less lines. It s the even ratio of lines to no lines that I think makes it work.

    It's already in QS in a simplified form:
