Hello folks!
While working on another project (SELEM 14 attendees know what I'm talking about, will post about it here very soon), I needed a way to wade through the thousands of ILDA files on the PL FTP site without downloading them all and loading them one-by-one into any number of the full-featured desktop laser programs available. You may have seen my posting in another thread about this recently. Well, I have completed this little side project and wanted to share it with the community.
Here's the link if you want to jump right in: https://ildac32.com/render/
I have the entire PL FTP collection available for live preview in any browser, as well as the X-LASER Mercury GOBO library (thanks, Adam Raugh!). I've also loaded up the free ILDA files from Laser Graffiti (see: https://lasergraffiti.weebly.com/) and some test patterns if you need those.
As you see, you can browse any of the collections, and instantly view the animated ILD file in the browser viewer. If you like the preview, you can download that one ILD file without needing to download the entire library. You can adjust the size and speed of the viewer window as well.
There are A LOT of really cool and fun gems in those ILDA files you might not find otherwise. I've been having a blast going through these files.
You can also upload your own ILD files to the viewer. NOTE: This only uploads the file to your browser-- this does not upload the file to the webserver or the online collection!
Please let me know what you think. If you have or know of any other free ILD file collections to add to the site, please let me know, and I'd be happy to add them.
This app was made possible by these two open-source projects as well as the sources for all the ILD files. THANK YOU!
