Help with LD2000 Please

Am I just going to wake up one day and understand all this?

Yeah. Play with it enough and it will one day click and you will get an "OH....Yeah...." moment.

So how do you get the LAStudio for QM2000?
Abstraction for the FB3 is pretty cool - I'd like to give it a try with the QM!

Download it here (bottom of page).
For the license contact Pangolin along with your QM2000-Serial-Nr. and type (Intro, Basic, Pro).

Hi Jem,

There are probably a lot of way to do this "sweeping brush" effect you mentioned. Some of them have been discussed here.

Another way would be to start with the full frame (with all of the dots creating all of the beams) and then use a "window effect" (probably a key-effect) to reveal the points one at a time.

Another way would be to use the beam system build into LivePRO. You can create the individual beam locations that you want, and then use the Beam Sequencer to create a sequence that would be like this:

Step . Output

1 . . . 1
2 . . . 1+2
3 . . . 1+2+3
4 . . . 1+2+3+4
... etc...

Thanks Bill

I appreciate your input and your taking the time to write a possible solution

I'll have to take a closer look at the beam sequencer in LivePRO. It's all a learning curve, although it does produce huge satisfaction (and a big grin) when the required effect is acheived

Cheers

Jem

The effect I THINK your looking for is in one of the Bond Movies, from a above camera install and I have tried for years to figure out how to do it without hand animating. Its in a museum scene in Balboa Spain, and I think its a 2001 Hiro Yamagata install, but I cant remember exactly which Bond.

fixed array of point beams, other point beams slide in steps to one side, then one beam sweeps back to the end , almost looks like it was done in a abstract generator with a clipping window.

Would be really cool if a Pangolin Card did a Bond.....

Googling Bond and Laser or Bond and Laser show just gets you "No Mr Bond, I expect you to Die" with the big HENE laser weapon.
