    Animating Line Shapes

    by mw/mf0 » Sat Jun 10, 2023 1:47 pm

    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 Lines? Or is it meant that you draw them once and then that's it, they sit there stationary? Only coming to live as a line-sized masks on a material.

    * If I use the vector-tracing of video files, how can I apply FX then? Basically using external video animation to take the role of this animated Laser Line
    For example to show an animated bubble. I'm wondering how to control the Colour or the brightness of the laser beam while it is "drawn". If for example I want to give my bubble a dotted outline.
    Of course I can do that in e.g. Resolume and spout it over, but the tracer would go wild if for example I change the dot width or add some strobing..

    Would be great to learn about this!
    thanks,
    Marcel
