Now you can make sophisticated laser images by working directly with Macromedia
FLASH files. This auto-digitizing magic is accomplished by
Lasershow Converter
FLASH, Lasershow Designer
2000 latest conversion program.
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 Macromedia
FLASH
The pictures at right show Macromedia 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.

It is easier to do animation, text
effects, true morphs, etc. in Macromedia FLASH.
Scenes created in Macromedia FLASH can be re-purposed for other media, such as
the web, slides, printed material, etc.
Many more artists and animators know Macromedia 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 Macromedia 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 real-time 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.
What is required
Lasershow Converter FLASH requires Lasershow Designer 2000 and ideally you
should also have Macromedia FLASH. This is because the software uses files that
can be created and edited by Macromedia FLASH.
Lasershow Designer 2000 and
Lasershow Converter
FLASH can be purchased
through this website.
Macromedia FLASH release 4 or later. This can be purchased through resellers
listed on the Macromedia website:
