On the acceleration/deceleration... Yes, there is an algorythm built into the LC-Max plugin that allows for acc/dec and adds the extra points where needed, but it actually does much more than that. You can control the number of points on angles between certain degrees, and there are several buttons that allow you to auto setup the smoothness of an image based on what it's geometry is, such as a square, sphere, cylendar, hedra, etc.
As for the refresh rate, it will maintain a constant rate if you tell it to maintain a constant # of points per frame.
For different scanners, you are best programming for that particular model of scanner. This is true with analog abstracts, as well as graphics, on many of the scanners I've seen.
Alot has changed at AVI since 1990 I came on in '94, and so much has improved that we don't even want to play back the old stuff. The scanners have gotten faster, the images have gotten more complex, and we can now cover the entire dome with our Omniscan projector.
LC-Max is a very cool product. I beta test it for the Pangolin guys, and love it! I was actually using this product when one of my co-workers said slashdot had a post on it.
It is a great tool for merging the CG look with the brilliance of laserlight. I can't draw to save my life, but I am able to easily create 3D animations and view them almost instantly in laser.
You can see some of the imagery I've created if you go to Hearshey Park, PA.
We have this product available, and custom build the most advanced laser projectors in the world.
