Greetings,
I'm new here, so be gentle.
Is there anyone else here that does planetarium style mixed graphics and abstract shows? Not so much in the way of beam effects - but projected style. Under the dome, we usually do beams with dedicated smaller lasers if we need to do that. The main projector faces the "front" of the dome where most people view. (We call it the "sweet spot".)
If so, I'd be happy to share some recent creations. For the planetarium, I'm using Pangolin - and if anyone is in NJ, I run the laser shows at RVCC Planetarium in North Branch. We used to run Aura shows (Steve Heminover, anyone?) and they were very helpful in getting us doing "our own thing".
We're running an older full color system and I swapped the HeNe's and Argon for solid state diodes about a year ago. (The argon was fading and getting unhappy with thermal changes, so we were losing green halfway through a show.) Cambridge scanners and AOMs with lumia and diffraction grating effects run by DMX channels.
Just tonight I finished up a new module for Pink Floyd's "Take It Back" that we're using this summer in a "Best of Pink Floyd" show.
