File

Loads external vector content into the graph. Supports ILDA laser files, SVG vector art, and OBJ 3D meshes. The loaded content becomes a frame you can process with effects, color, and transforms like any other shape.

Inputs

This node has no inputs. File selection is done through the node's controls.

Outputs

PortTypeDescription
FrameFrameThe loaded file content as a laser frame

Ideas

  • Load ILDA files for classic laser show content: logos, animations, abstract frames.
  • Import SVG for custom vector art designed in Illustrator or Inkscape.
  • Load OBJ meshes and wire into Camera Projection for 3D object display with orbit and fly-through.

Tips

  • OBJ files are rendered as wireframe edges. Use Camera Projection downstream for 3D perspective.
  • SVG paths are flattened and optimized for laser output. Complex SVGs with many paths use more scanner time.
  • ILDA files with multiple frames play back as animation.
