detecting points or lines via the "laser" effectĮach method works with a layer. using a "laser drawing" media, where you can freely draw PrincipleThere are two methods to control a laser in Millumin : Lastly, you can find explanations about other laser specifications on this nice glossary by Laserworld. There are other protocols but they are vendor specific. This connector looks like the image below :Ī device called "DAC" (digital analog converter) is required to send ILDA from a computer, such as the EtherDream DAC. Such lasers are controlled via a specific protocol : ILDA. The TTL lasers can only display up to 7 colors while analog ones can display a broad spectrum of colors. There are 2 kinds of lasers : with TTL modulation or analog modulation. You can watch this video to learn more about how a laser works : This is very different than video projectors because the laser is projecting a single point that is moving so quickly, than the human eye sees it as a whole and big drawing. Technically, such a laser will work with two small mirrors that move very quickly, and allow the laser beam to projected in various locations.

Of course, a laser is very different than video medium, especially because it produces a very bright light but they are only able to draw lines (not filled shapes nor textures). Indeed, such lasers can draw any shape at any moment, so you have total control on the content. GeneralAn "ILDA" laser is very different than a "DMX only" laser. Safety NoticeLaser are dangerous and you should never look into the beam or have reflecting material that can direct the beam to anyone eye. Important : the beta version is required and the "laser" addon needs to be activated from Preferences.

In this tutorial, we will discuss how to control ILDA lasers and make a show out of them.
