Excitement Technologies Group - Pangolin Lasershow Converter Flash

Lasershow Converter FLASH - Overview

Now you can make sophisticated laser images by working directly with Adobe FLASH files. This auto-digitizing magic is accomplished by Lasershow Converter FLASH, Pangolin's latest conversion program. This product is available and shipping.
The Lasershow Converter FLASH program enables computer graphic artists to convert 2D objects and scenes into laser outlines. The result can be as simple as a single-frame logo, or as complex a complete laser show.

Award-winning technology

Lasershow Converter FLASH is an amazing advance in software for use with laser displays, and it is based on the same LC-Max auto-digitizing engine that received a First Place ILDA 2001 Fenning Award for Technical Achievement.

Why use Adobe FLASH

The pictures at right show Adobe FLASH scenes, and then the laser version of those scenes. Using FLASH will save you time and help you create better shows. Here's why:

Features such as perfect point placement and true hidden-line removal are perfectly realized. No additional work is necessary by the artist. All that is required is that the artist 1) have some knowledge of FLASH and 2) have a basic understanding of laser requirements, such as a low object count and relatively simple objects.
There are thousands of FLASH scenes available. For example, the "Road show" demo that is included with Lasershow Converter FLASH is a public domain FLASH file which was downloaded from a website.
It is easier to do animation, text effects, true morphs, etc. in Adobe FLASH.
Scenes created in Adobe FLASH can be re-purposed for other media, such as the web, slides, printed material, etc.
Many more artists and animators know Adobe FLASH, than know specialized laser software. It is used by over 100,000 computer animators. Plus, there is a wide variety of books, tutorials, websites, etc. available for Adobe FLASH.

Quick conversion from computer to laser

Working with lasers within Lasershow Converter FLASH is fast and natural. It typically takes far less than a second to convert a computer graphics frame into laser graphics. Hidden line removal and object occlusion ("masking") is automatic. An entire laser animation can be quickly stored, and then played back in realtime to check object motion.
Once laser frames are rendered in Lasershow Converter FLASH, they can be saved to LD2000 or ILDA format. For performance playback, LD2000's "Showtime" program is ideal. It can add more graphics, beams, abstracts, and other events such as DMX lighting cues.

Free for LD2000 Pro and Basic users

Lasershow Converter FLASH is free for LD2000 PRO and Basic users and it is automatically installed if you have the latest LD2000 Installation CD/DVD set.
