    Default Lumia glass special cuboid shape

    I am posting a video of my own lumia technology:

    Wow, that sucks. Have you ever considered doing laser effects to music?

    Interesting lumia effect.
    Do you have a projector with galvos & a controller, yet?
    Would a bird's mating song be more alluring if composed by human intellect? 🤔

    The source is a laser projector 2 watts RGB with galvos 30kpps, it is running in auto mode just to demonstrate the effect.

    Then, you're off to a good start. Does your projetor have an ILDA standard DB25 input connector for controlling the galvos with software?
    What do you want to do next?

    It has the input connector and I have the Helios DAC with lasershowGen software.
    Maybe I can make some videos powering the crystal with shows.
    What I found very interesting is that you can fill the crystal with water and then it will transmit the animation, yes you can very clearly see the animation through the whole 3d structure it is quite interesting. Withouth water it is more abstract, unpredictable.
    I called it the aqua-laser animation

    Cool. Thanks for sharing.
    For sure, playing with various scan through lumia effects, such as textured shower glass is fun. Mike Gould is a master of the craft, who shares many videos on YT.
    Full disclosure: Laserist and I were very privileged to have started out being Laserium laserists during the late '70s & '80s (for myself), and beyond for some others on this forum.
    Now retired, I'm developing my own T4 Laser Synth to enjoy playing 'visual music' again in real time, using modern MIDI control surfaces and Reaper DAW's timeline.
    Best regards.

    Thank you very much for the information.
    It seems that back then it was much more difficult to put on a laser show compared to now. I will definitely watch your show and follow the information on the forum. My show is also very interesting; I recently discovered certain "textures" that can be obtained from the inside of the crystal structure. They are also very interesting. If we can combine my light and yours, it will be great.
    LSX software, I am interested in buying it maybe in the future, I heard it has very complex figures, abstracts.
    Best regards

    This combined talk of sucking and background effects inspired me to finally try a crystal dimple, which when done right looks like ionized plasmas spewing out from or getting sucked in to a stellar nebula. The plastic dimple formed pretty well on the second attempt. Ok, I really just wanted a reason to make a rare use of my yellow hene. See the primitive apparatus in the photos. I have a reduction drive with speed control put away somewhere, which is needed to complete the effect. Holding the optics in one hand yielded the attached photo, which looks a lot like regular textured wheel, but for fun, it is true gas laser yellow.

    The textured wheel might be an actual LII wheel, because it came from a person who worked for LII at one point.
