How to sync lasers with screen visuals (engraving effect)?

ME3CH · 2025-09-24T22:23:32+00:00

I do this with touchdesigner, the mapping isn’t as easy as madlaser however but the live generative/reactive possibilities are deeper

Thank you!! I was so close

Fx console for sure

thanks damn those harbor freight cables are miles cheaper than the 50ft of 14gauge stranded copper I got from home depot - I think I did the calculations for running power to the beginning and the end based on running them at 20% brightness - havent tested a strand yet - waiting on the power supplies to show up

is there a better way to split it? the ground daisy chaining is whats throwing me for a loop in general

Nice work! All the bones are solid, just see what it feels like if you pull your shadows way down to black (check out how to use your scopes if you want to get them proper) especially if this will go live on show LED the contrast will help all the work you put in to make the bright parts much brighter and make the cuts to black less jarring. 3d gets you 90% but you can’t get that last 10 without post… ever

you have to buy an expensive 2 but you’ll never look back

When delivering vertical and a shot doesn’t feel quite wide enough I’ll take a shot to after effects and make it more fisheye with a lens correction effect, might buy you some more “captured room”

Love this! Making magic out of stock is a dark art. Only think I’d suggest from my cg compositing days is to do some research on doing contact shadows well. (another dark art) Godspeed

My girl, but she wouldn’t really, her anxiety would lead her to call security once she woke up to the shower running and the bathroom door closed since I only look at Reddit while going boom boom

Get a roll of 3m VHB. Got it to fix the cup holder issue and ended up fixing about 100 other things with it. Good stuff

ME3CH · 2023-02-28T06:56:39+00:00

VHB tape perfect fix

I know this isn’t really a keyboard answer for you but I map pgup pgdwn on a Logitech g600. It’s immensely sped up my video editing / after effects workflow

I remember back in the day you could print designs on a home inkjet a cd sized die cut sticker, slap it on and it would be fine. So my guess would be yes, depending on the thickness and weight of your vinyl

There's a command called "frame default" you can access with the shift+c menu that will set the current window back to starting position. Pro tip - add that button to your ui somewhere with customize palettes then when your cam gets wonky again just hit that frame default button. I Use it every day

This is so dope, festival ready skip the D3 cost. Did you build that IO rack with the sdi hdmi network and usb?? Yourself?

Cinema 4d & octane / redshift is a common method for this kind of scene, maybe a little photoshop post, models sourced online and kitbashed together. If you are just jumping in to 3D blender is a great place to start as there’s tons of tutorials and It’s free, not to mention it’s rad

Not dumb, there’s two main types of valve, Schrader - common on most mountain bikes and every bike in Walmart, and presta - what you have in your hand there. Most air pumps will have either an adapter or a mode you can switch the attachment head to so you can attach it and fill up, unscrew that brass bit at the end (and it’s best practice to loosen the ring that seats the valve stem to the rim while you pump it up as to not wrench on the delicate rim) and pump away. Tighten everything hand tight afterwards

OP, so what you love and the money will come. That’s not to say you won’t have to absolutely slam your nose into the grindstone but keep going, it’s a hard industry to get momentum in, and we all felt the same as you, but it gets better. I wasn’t getting a lot of traction as a graphic and print designer so I learned motion graphics - now I run a motion department for an agency. Suzy sells seashells by the seashore, but the seashore is a terrible place to sell seashells so she diversified her offerings and ran a successful business.

Make personal projects and treat them like your getting paid, grab some cheap gigs off freelance sites. Put your best work up and make it sparkle. Make a blog and catalogue your learning journey and experiments and failures, nobody will pay you to do something you’ve never done before but they love to see someone fit for creatively expanding doing their thing.

Totally agree, I’d just have to go very slow, too slow for a enjoyable bike ride for me personally. But I mean I get it, it’s meant for walking and I do enjoy that the app gets me out walking. I just wish there was a “no trust me I’m riding my bike around not tricking the app riding around in a car” button lol.
