* NOTE – To create quality laser graphics, logos and text, you need to use a professional laser show projector with a high speed optical scanning system. While there are many good laser projectors on the market, we recommend our ClubMAX line of laser show projectors in that regard, because they use the state-of-the-art Compact-506 optical scanning system, which is one of the fastest and most durable optical scanners in the world. In this video, Nathan uses a ClubMAX 3000 laser projector to create the content displayed.
QuickTrace – For fast and easy laser logos.
Useful Tip! – Convert your bitmaps to a vector file format.
We are asked all the time… “Is it possible for me to write in laser?” The simple answer, is YES!
Taking it a step further… Drawing laser frames by hand, using the Frame Editor.
Drawing laser frames by hand is an art form. It is one of the oldest, yet still one of the best ways to get very detailed laser graphics, text, logos and animations. The reason it is so popular, is because it allows pinpoint accuracy and precision when designing laser content. While QuickTrace and QuickText are great, they are tools for creating “fast and easy” laser content. For more precision and refinement, the Frame Editor is the way to go. Both QuickShow and BEYOND include custom frame editors. Screen shots of both Frame Editors are shown below.
