Laser Mapping Tutorial | FREE Pangolin Beyond Software Webinar

[@nikkikyriakopoulos890]

As a beginner starting from literally zero background on lasers I've learned so much more from seeing this to understand how the software works versus watching hours of intro tutorials but still being completely lost. amazing job! thanks so much

[@PangolinSystems]

Glad it was helpful!

[@richc2269]

Hi Calvin, This was the best webinar, Fantastic, Sound was good, speech was good, speed was good. Was using beyond 3 while you were explaining. excellent once again, Thank you very much for your time. Regards to you and all at Pangolin Richard Coutinho, Toronto, Canada

[@PangolinSystems]

Thanks! We appreciate the feed back, and we're glad you enjoyed the Webinar!

...and ..from Italy...Thanks for tutorial !

[@amryoussof6651]

thanks for these information

[@StoneRidgeInc]

Thank you for sharing this information on how the laser and programming works. When are three lasers better than one stronger laser as I evaluate a project?

[@PangolinSystems]

That depends on the situation. Often more lasers are used when the scan angle is to big for the laser to cover, the one laser is not power-full enough to cover a complete building or there is need for distributed scanning if there are to many points to project.

[@aaronswanson6227]

Any suggestions for how to go about mapping on a 16 foot wide by 8 foot tall surface with the projector as close as possible? Like 5-10 feet away, I'm thinking a disco scan lens might work

Hello, how many laser devices do we need to do this, I would be very happy if you specify the model, finally what should be the power thank you

[@mateuszwyszynski8384]

It was great to participate. Hope for more events like this in the future!

[@PangolinSystems]

There is a possibility... Just make sure to pay attention to our social media to follow our latest updates.

Awesome tutorial! Which version of Bangarang is used here. My version from iTunes is very different. Please keep content like this coming!!

[@PangolinSystems]

Probably a custom cut version.

[@machine2747]

Awesome video! I learned so much. Can you touch on resampling a little more? I tried to follow on my copy of Beyond but there were some steps to resample missing (or maybe I missed them). Thanks!!

@@PangolinSystems hi my question is how did you get it to scrolling around the window frame I know you explained it but I still can't figure it out please cause you do another video or something there's a show next weekend and I would love to start off with that effect and then you could explain the resampler method

[@kaic92]

Nice job...greetings from brazil .

[@bradonwebb2539]

Coolest house on the block. I'm curious about combining lasers with Projections for more diverse effects. Lasers being so bright as they are do they overpower a projection?

[@PangolinSystems]

Thats not a real problem, You can define the brightness of a laser so you can configure it that its now overpowering a beamer.

[@MAYADWORKSF1]

thanks you so much 👌

[@PangolinSystems]

Welcome 😊

hey, at minute 19.. your cursur show te laserpoint on the building self. with me i can see it only when i drawn the line. not at te moment. what did i do wrong? thx from belgium

please make sure you update to the latest version of BEYOND. If that does not help, please report an issue at [e-mail]

[@djomkar989]

Can I do this with 1 pangolin Fb3 with 3 lasers and how to do wiring Ilda wire please help

[@PangolinSystems]

You could do this with only 1 laser. If the lasers are daisy chained, I do not see the possibility how to do this. So i would use only 1 laser, or you will need additional FB3.

[@sadekiebutler2501]

Hey 👋🏾 I'm loving this video was wondering if there any social I could reach out to you on if possible

[@PangolinSystems]

[@sadekiebutler2501]

I've already purchased the beyond essential license my thing is when you press on edit frames the advanced option doesn't appear. So I'm unable to do that resampler animation to make the laser cycle around that frame

[@alfonsiuspietra7769]

is it can be done in beyond ESSENTIALS License?

[@PangolinSystems]

For sure the answer is YES!

[@taylormatthews3657]

When I go to create new frames, there is no advanced option. Only “simple”. In the simple frame creator you do not have the option to activate the cursor so it shows the cursor/laser position. Am I correct? Seems like this would be key. Love the videos…thanks!

[@SupaBlank]

Thank you for this breakdown, informative and great show at the end. edit im new to DMX projection mapping and lighting, is this compatible with soundstage also? or would lighting have to be programmed there and laser in this? also curious how virtual dj ties in could you point to to a solid reference please?

[@PangolinSystems]

BEYOND also supports DMX equipment and can play audio. VidtualDJ can listen to BEYOND and QuickShow for Audio, but If you make a timeline show in BEYOND, i would not advice you to use VirtualDJ.

[@SupaBlank]

@@PangolinSystems thank you for the reply, what would be the interference if used?

[@absolude]

Thank you for this top notch tutorial. But i have one question: The Scan angle seems pretty wide, is there a guideline to prevent overscanning and killing the scanner?! I would be grateful for some Tipps or links! Thanks a lot!

[@PangolinSystems]

It should not be possible to "kill" the scanners -- unless the projector is something very cheap...

Hi thanks for the great tutorial! im trying to follow this using quickshow 4 but ran into a problem! at 20:30 you talt about points and vector making the light move around the window in points, im not seeing how to do this in qs4? there is no resample! can it be done in qs4? if so how? im new to qs so any info will be great! thanks again

[@PangolinSystems]

Resampler is indeed only something that can be found in BEYOND

[@jhrlasers]

ALL this stuff could Only be done in *BEYOND* ofc

[@luisalbertogarcia283]

Could you help me please friend? I don't understand how you put the "Empty Efectt". 42:42 minute please.

[@PangolinSystems]

Right click on an epty area of a timeline and click "create new event" then an empty event is being created.

[@larrystover4863]

How do you know what laser projector will it work with and how do connect to the laser?

[@PangolinSystems]

A laser will work with Pangolin software if they have FB4 inside, or have an ILDA input which can be connected to FB3. pangolin.com/pages/hardware-setup-diagrams

[@ankityaar8416]

could we decreases the brightness during Laser Maping ?

[@PangolinSystems]

You can with the brightness slider in live control

[@eloimis101]

Hello, im curious is it possible to create effect and sequences and trigger them via dmx?

[@PangolinSystems]

If you put them on the QuickFX line, you can.

[@rittmaierbyron]

You don't really say how you get the lazer to match your house i mean do you take a picture of your house

[@PangolinSystems]

There is no need as the laser cursor determines where the lines are drawn

[@ma-tv3207]

Which model laser was this

[@PangolinSystems]

I am afraid that it is to long ago to say which laser this exactly was.

[@nsrlightslaser1515]

How much use it hardware

[@roteldorel]

haaa be me waif lalalalalaa

[@TonyYamin]

Hello, what is the maximum range using a 3 watts RGB laser ?

[@PangolinSystems]

Maximum range depends on the quality of the beam of the used laser. You cannot say a 3 watt laser has this specific range. If you want more details on what laser would be suited best for our purpose, send over a message on [e-mail] and we will help you further.

[@ceahehehe]

hi，may i ask is this software work on MacOS？

[@PangolinSystems]

QuickShow and BEYOND run on Windows with X64 architecture.

[@BernardoAmorim]

NIce! how far can these projectors reach? can I place them 75m way? The longuest part they need to reach is 180m away. is it possible?

[@StikyIckie]

The moon.

[@PangolinSystems]

At Disney's Epcot Center they project lasers nearly half a mile to their "Spaceship Earth" ball. They projected an animated rotating earth onto it.

[@PangolinSystems]

Hehe, not quite the moon ;-) In fact, Coca Cola promised to pay Ivan Dryer (founder of Laser Images / Laserium) 1 million dollars if he could put the coke logo on the moon...

[@jhrlasers]

More distance applied 🥴 RIP the Power & the Divergence 😵

[@qubeseethalmj]

this type mapping can be done with 2 laser machine ?

[@PangolinSystems]

Yes, that is no problem. You can assign a track to any laser.

[@dilwalakumarsubrat864]

This software free.?

[@PangolinSystems]

QuickShow comes for free with FB3 or FB4 hardware. Without the hardware you cannot use the software.

[@SegawaKS]

Hello, how I can draw a straight line (multi point line) freehand ? In free hand its nearly impossible to draw a straight line without corners or so :) so maybe it gave a keyboard shortcut

[@PangolinSystems]

Just use one of the drawing editors and turn on the laser cursor. The drawing editors all have straight-line-drawing tools built in.

[@SegawaKS]

Pangolin Laser Systems yes :) but not at multipoint :)

[@DJsupersounds]

@@SegawaKS you have to resample it to make all cues the same multipoints.

[@liweilin6649]

Mapping function only works for ILDA? or can work on DMX lase?

[@PangolinSystems]

You will need QuickShow or BEYOND to map out the building. Then you can upload it through the software to the laser. After that, you will be able to execute the cues by DMX. This all in the assumption the laser has a FB4 onboard.

[@jhrlasers]

^^^

[@jhrlasers]

And YES!!!, cuz, DMX alone r' only works to control for a built in features in a fixtures, but not for a custom design stuff, while Mappings would required a customization, soooo... ILDA cables (with FB3) or yes, an FB4 itself... through a Networking cables (ArtNet, CAT 5 or 6) works for a customization signals that sent towards the lasers on points, so it could be adjusted. A built in FB4 (like has been mentioned before^) capable to store the data (the showfiles), and first things first, all you need to do is designed all the maps inside the software first (especially in BEYOND) then export it to the FB4 and store it in it. Then it could be run through your DMX consoles. But it's just not that effective (imo), cuz why would you need a DMX for mappings ?.. Bc usually exporting to FB4 are only use as a permanent installations.

@@PangolinSystems how do you map the building with quickshow

[@SardorKirck]

Did you try to project these lasers onto the clouds? Would it work?

[@PangolinSystems]

We did not try.

[@jhrlasers]

You could try it yourself tbh, some Sky lasers projectors did some of those... or Global Rainbow Project but eh, it just lines, not a graphs and also Watchout for an Aircraft 😳 choose a locations where it's quite cloudy and aircraft do seldomly appeared, then it should work

[@SardorKirck]

@@jhrlasers I was just curious if we could project images (e.g. line art) onto the clouds. I am afraid the images would look blurry, and therefore illegible?

[@jhrlasers]

@@SardorKirck it's possible, some guy actually did it tho... I saw that he project some graphics on it. But it seems would required a high powered lasers (like Kvant 33 Spectrum series) and a places where the clouds are a bit lower to the ground (and ofc must thicc enough) and the Projectors required a higher ground, like on top of the buildings or from mountains or hillsides, to get on the best results..

[@jhrlasers]

@@SardorKirck mostly depence on the situation and surrounding environments tho... if there's no natural haze or fogs, but it's cloudy, then it could have a better result... But if there's a natural Haze or Fogs (Foggy situation).. then you most likely want to perform a Beamshows for that :)

[@kikolbo]

What lasers are you using?

[@jhrlasers]

3x Kvant Spectrums 30W

[@MrTHEVladislaV]

Is it possible visualization lazer mapping by wysiwyg r 40?

[@PangolinSystems]

Yes, and several other visualizers too.

[@jhrlasers]

wysiwyg just somehow not that guud enough when it comes to lasers tho... But Beyond could support every all previz as in the industry standarts.

[@jhrlasers]

Depence2 could be a perfect choice (previously known as Realizzer)... for lasers, but idk if theres still bad charms (roomies) that circulating around them 😳
