Request for trace assistence

[michelrietveld]

Hi all,

stumbling with trace-it for a rather difficult logo for thursday evening.

Magneetbar Logo.lds



I can't seem to get the parameters set correctly.
Any advice on how to approach this?

Don't take this the wrong way Michel but you got to put the pipe down... That is definatly an ambitious logo you got there.

I can't see getting Magnet to scan well, even using a generic block font much less MagnetBar. I suspect you want the "texture" or outline of each letter like the "font" in the logo picture too huh? I would think about doing each letter individually as a seperate frame and try to make some sort of animation ; the problem will be using them all at the same time. Maybe walk them across the screen one at a time, I dunno; I envision a whole lotta points when I look at that logo. Maybe one of the more experienced professionals can suggest something crazy.

You're definitely going to need to put it in some sort of animation, it's just wayyy too complex for all at once.

raster it.

Thanks for all the feedback, confirming what i guessed, too complex, rastering is something i haven't done before and could realy use a hint on how to aproach this.

@Chat, can you give me advice on your suggestion?

Michel

raster it.

def dont raster it, it will look unreadable and flickery as hell.

Its possible and i will make it for you today
I have one question, how long will you be scanning this logo?

[michelrietveld]

Hi PJ, thanks for jumping in, what is the reason behind the question, will it be a different approach for long compared to a short scan period because it could be harmfull to the scanset?
i have a dt40k pro and it would be nice to put the logo for a short time on the wall.

already replied to this thread 2 times, from work and from phone just don't see the updates, will mail you as well.

I just received the file from MasterPJ and it looks amazingly good ;-)
have attached an attempt to make a photo of it.

have to leave now for putting my gear into place.
So much enjoying this hobby !!!!

No problem michel,

I have my ways to do these kind of things hehe
Making the unscannable be scannable is what I do.

Your scanners will be ok with the scanning, no damage on long term use has been found on my scanners because i give my scanners a break every now and then to relax up.

Also yes guys that scan contains the eyes, iruses colors and everything.
Except a small wobbly line everything is in there.

I have a logo service soon up so "seemingly" impossible logo's can be redirected to me.

Here's a slightly better foto from what michel got (no exposure tweaks)

Yes I know this camera is shit.

Nice!
Hand drawn with some little point-pulling ?

At what angle, at what fps ?
