Sheet/fan how-to question?

[steviobee]

I was playing around with Quickshow and trying to work out how to draw a sheet with visible points like at the beginiing of this:

The other effect I was trying to create is at 3.14min?

Any ideas, I have tried drawing a sheet with a certain amount of visible points but it doesn't seem to look the same?

Here is the cue, am I on the right track?? Blue sheet with 20 visible points.lds

Hi

Use abstract generator, optimise your sine wave and drag it to your workspace. Then, select the points option without changing any other settings except number of points and drag that to a cue. Then combine the two using that combining quicktool. Inefficient but it works.

You prob need to upgrade your software, Quickshow sucks balls when trying to do cool colour transitions on the timeline. One of its intentional shortfalls I think to make you buy Beyond/2000

Happy lasering

Not exactly duplicating the video, but basically what Humphry said, here is an example of 2 copies of the same abstract, one as beams and one as lines, to create a sheet with visible beams.

Instead of using 2 cues and combining with QuickCapture, this example uses a "Synthesized Image"... which, bizarrely, QuickShow can only create by copying and editing an existing "Synthesized Image".

Cheers Humphry and Bill,

Both work really well, not really sure what the difference is as the results are very similar. But either way, is exactly what I was after. :-)
