3D MAX To Laser Light

Laserfuzz writes: "Remember LaserMAME? Well this isn't new but Pangolin has a plug-in for 3D Studio MAX to convert 3D objects and scenes into laser outlines. Opens laser show programing to a larger group of people." I s'pose not everyone has that kind of hardware sitting around, but you sure could light up a party.

Just a reminder

It's all fun and games until someone's eye is burnt out with the laser. Then it's just fun you can't see.

Warez

Too bad you can't get warez laser projectors like you can get warez 3DS. Then we could have lots of fun at night. More than usual, I mean.

"Up there! It's a bird!"
"It's a plane!"
"IT'S A TEAPOT!!!!"

Tell me what makes you so afraid
Of all those people you say you hate

Laser color matching

[MajorBurrito]

I have a friend who made a laser light show for a 4th of July festival. He had a heck of a time getting the colors to come out right. Apparently, there are some severe restrictions in the US with regard to laser intensity at various colors. He had to get a special permit to display his show in a public forum. You can find out about the standards here.

Now, this is some very cool stuff. I've actually seen him make holograms using his laser projector. But if you want to do anything out in public, you'll need to be sure you have the right papers.
