![]() Just like any laser, you can create a laser layer from + button located on the bottom-left corner of Millumin’s window. Tips : if you do not have a laser yet, you can still preview the result in this window. Double click in the view to add warping points as shown below : If you need to map or warp your laser ouput on a surface, you can click on Edit Mapping and the output mapping will be fully editable. Of course, as any output, you can display a test card on your laser for setup and testing. Be careful with this, lasers can be dangerous, make sure your installation is safe before activating this option. You can check Auto-Start to switch on your lasers at project startup. If your canvas does not have a square ratio, you may need to use keep ratio to fit it inside the laser output and prevent your drawing from being distorted.The mirror setting allows you to flip horizontally/vertically your output to match your laser orientation.You can add a delay to synchronize a laser with another one or with a videoprojector.This is especially useful to match colors between different lasers. You may want to affect the colors of your laser by using adjust RGB setting.We encourage you to set a value that matches the specifications of your laser (usually 30 kpps) to ensure the best ratio between smoothness and precision. The higher it is, the smoother animation you will get, but the drawing precision will decrease. The rate describes the speed of laser scanning systems in “Points Per Second”.Add a laser output then set its properties : You can check there that your laser DAC is correctly setup : Now you can open Laser Setup popup from Window menubar, or from the Setup button in the properties-view. A first output should be already created and assigned, as shown in the image below : Once everything is plugged in, run Millumin and create a laser layer. ![]() ![]() And do not forget to buy an ILDA cable, in case it is not provided with the laser !Īlso, be sure the lasers addon is activated : The Etherdream, Helios, ShowNET and LaserCube USB/Wifi DAC are supported. SetupĪs mentioned earlier, you will need a DAC to control the laser from your computer. The limit of the canvas matches the limit of the laser : as the ratio of a laser is usually a square, you may want to have the same ratio for your canvas. Of course, the laser projection will follow the translation/scale/rotation/mapping of the laser layer as well as its opacity and transitions.
