Hi Patrick, i'm using ShowNet with MadLaser a fair bit and yes, it is fiddly to get it started, but eventually it always works. Two "issues" overlap usually: computer not establishing DCHP to laser +and+ MadLaser shows an out-dated connection. My usual steps: ** First check if ShowNet interface & la...

I might be blind!, but I can't find out how to clear a surface. Once a media is running but you don't want to see it any longer. There is "apply", but no "clear" or "remove"?!
What am I missing?

Can't help it, this forum feels somewhat dead. Rarely any replies, especially not from garageCube's side.

Given it is Black Friday, it makes the question of extending the MadLaser license a pretty difficult one. Is this is a dead software?

Hi, i don't know about ILDA via Ethernet. (Afaik ILDA is an analogue signal, while Ethernet cables are made for digital signals of defined network protocols. Ofc you could appropriate an Ethernet cable and "misuse" it for simple analogue signals, but that would not work with your notebooks's port.) ...

Maybe it isn't completely clear: Benefit is an entirely vector based workflow! You could apply effects (coded, with parameters for live shows) to pre-made media (Lottie animation from e.g. After Effects) - and stay in the world of laser vectors! It's analogue to a classic vjing/visuals performance a...

Hi, as per subject line: the ability to apply LaserFX on Lottie animations (or SVG image sequences) would be a great additions. LaserFX are such a useful tool to take animations further, in a way that makes sense specifically for lasers and for live performance!And the possibility to code them onese...

Re Madlaser: I would love to see the Laser connection via FB4 without Beyond too. It's expensive, not resourceful and kind of pointless having to go through Beyond. And I would wish having the FX (aka SurfaceLaserLineFX) available for all kinds of outputs , like if playing a Lottie animation or if u...

Is this forum dead?

So far I found at the end of the LaserMaterials documentation that I have to fetch "mm_LastFrameData" to access last frames data, including userData. However, this doesn't work:
error::C:/Users/...test.fs:29: error C1503: undefined variable "mm_LastFrameData"
What's the fix?

Ok, found it. Under Resources/Guides there is a pdf for MadNoise and one for MadSDF, MadCommon however is outlined in "Materials Documentation.pdf" (not Laser Material Doc ..). The question of the mysterious workings of userData remains however. I've checked all LaserMaterials, no example nowhere. T...

Asking with Laser Materials in mind. Where/how to find out whats inside MadCommon.glsl? Btw. how does userData work? What values is it initialized with? And userData = vec4( userData.x+1 ,0 ,0 ,0 ); has no impact, I was expecting to increase per cycle, but nothing happens. Any help/reply appreciated!

Hi thanks for creating MadLaser. Finally a Laser software that doesn't look like Win98! And has some sweet features (i.e. describing animations in code). However I might have run into limitations or maybe didn't fully understand the potential, hence a few questions: * Is there a way to animate Laser...
