Decix is quite right, and also one of the most avid users of Lasershow Converter 4D.
But I have a few points.
1. Pangolin has two separate classes of laser software. We have the LD2000 series which is made for "true laser professionals". You can see the kind of work being done using LD2000 on our
Powered by Pangolin web page. LD2000 is a much more unlimited software. But, as such, it is more expensive than QuickShow. Also, it is very likely that it will require time, and quite possibly a lot of time to learn how to best take advantage of it to do a laser show. Just as one example, people go to school for an entire semester, just to learn how to use AutoCAD. The same can be said of LD2000.
2. QuickShow is made for everyone else... That is, people who really aren't necessarily true laser professionals, and who don't have a lot of time to learn now to do laser shows. This is for people who really want to get to success very quickly, and without training, and who also don't have a whole lot of money in their pockets.
QuickShow is made available at a price-point that -- as far as we can tell based on published pricing, is lower than any competitive product. And yet QuickShow can do things that no other laser software on earth can do (including LD2000) and can do them extraordinarily quickly. QuickShow is so advanced, that we currently have a pending patent on the user interface. To see what can be done using QuickShow in only six minutes,
see this video.
QuickShow does not have a 3D drawing program itself, because people in clubs and others who are using QuickShow really don't need it. In fact, of all of the QuickShow users, you are the first to mention it.... If you want to do 3D, we have many solutions for you, including LD2000 and LAStudio. As mentioned above, LD2000 is made for true laser professionals, and those who want 3D are more toward the "true laser professional" end of the scale, so perhaps you should consider LD2000 instead. If you have zero dollars in your pocket but still want to play with 3D, then the answer is
LAStudio as mentioned by Decix. LAStudio is available free to all Pangolin clients. It is "pro-sumer" grade software. Not quite good enough for true laser professionals, but better than the consumer-grade software being peddled by Pangolin competitors.
In conclusion, Pangolin offers a wide range of tools available for a wide range of clients (currently more than 12,000), and at several price-points. As far as I am able to tell based on published pricing, our pricing is lower than competitors, and yet what we give you in terms of capability, frames, and shows are greater. If you've outgrown QuickShow, then perhaps LD2000 would be a good next step for you...
Best regards,
