CNC Community Laser Challenge

“ you can’t do that with a laser”

 

Six of us did a Streamyard session Tuesday evening to go over the Imag-r software and show some of the features of it. During our discussions we had the idea that it would be awesome to have a community challenge where one image was taken by everyone who wanted to participate. The participants would then take that image and manipulate it anyway they wanted to make a creation using only a laser of any kind. Then each participant would forward their creation to Mark to his email only. Mark would then show all the creations on a Monday live stream and then all could see and comment on the creations. We have discussed this more thoroughly and Mark has agreed to host the unveiling of the creation on Monday Night live stream on November 4th. The challenge will start today. The image we will all use has been uploaded to the files section of the main group, and linked below. If anyone has a problem getting the image let me (Mike Bernasconi) or Kurt know and we will get it to you. This will be a great community event and hopefully all who have a laser will contribute. Please find the guidelines below.
