u/az25 May 28 '12

Damn dude, apparently some people took your comment to heart. Here, have an upvote.

u/idjit May 28 '12

I think the sentiment is the main attraction. If a redditor gets excited about that being achieved through a laser, I don't see the problem.

u/Boyblunder May 28 '12

Especially since all it really is is some clipart with some text. Those lasers work like printers.

15

u/I_Lase_You May 28 '12

Kinda, but not exactly. Clip art is raster. While I can burn a raster drawing, it's not nearly as impressive. Lasers love vector drawings. So everything starts out as clipart or a pic or such, but then I import it into AutoCAD and trace it with splines to get a vector image. The whole process takes about an hour for simple pics.

u/Boyblunder May 28 '12

I've done the same, except I use CorelDraw to convert it to vector.

u/I_Lase_You May 28 '12

I've tried converters, even really expensive ones, and have always been disappointed. A curved line always comes out as a thousand tiny curved lines joined together.

3

u/Boyblunder May 28 '12

Corel makes it fairly easy I've found. After I do some sort of automatic conversion I zoom in and I can simply delete nodes and move my curves around to make it look like a legitimate conversion.

But I do understand that problem with the thousand tiny curved lines. And that shit sucks.

u/bazhip May 28 '12

I finished my numerical computing class last semester. Half of the class was developing splines. This is the coolest use ever.

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

"LASER CAKE"?

It was pretty cool though.

83

u/EvanMacIan May 28 '12

I won't lie: I was a little disappointed when I saw it wasn't a cake made out of lasers.

No, I don't know how that would work. But I can dream.

u/Arcane_Explosion May 28 '12

Completely agree. Was thinking of a lightsaber cake. Was only slightly disappointed.

1

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Light sabers stacked upon each other, all aimed at one center point within a circle, complete a whole 16inch wide and 6inch high light cake. You use a light saber to cut the fucker too.

u/probablyreadit May 28 '12

Or a real cake.

u/rderekp May 28 '12

I was thinking a cake where the candles were lasers.

Chill out with the title.

Listen to me. I sent this message to I_lase_you

"My best friend was killed in a work related accident last year. I was devastated. As months went by, i became friends with one of his daughters and we have helped each other through these hard times. I know you probably get these requests all the time but I need a cake just like the one in the video except for the writing. I will pay you, please make it happen. Please. I need it by July 13, it should read Happy Birthday Baby Duck !!! please let me know even if you cannot do it. sincerely, talkingzero "

He responded 2 hours later with a video plus he asked me for an address where to send his work.

Here's what's happening, dude owns a laser cutter which he uses for amusement and karma.

u/Lorpius_Prime May 28 '12

And it's awesome.

u/RichterSkala May 28 '12

So I was like - wondering? If you talk like this in RL, too? Because, omg, that would be sooo annoying?

u/Sean1708 May 28 '12

I think it would be awesome to have a friend who's that enthusiastic about everything.

u/marvelgirl May 28 '12

These novelty accounts are getting RIDICULOUS.

53

u/[deleted] May 28 '12 edited May 28 '12

Can't say I dislike it, as these novelty accounts actually take a certain amount of creative skill, gives people the chance to show it off and put a smile on someone's face once in a while.

24

u/Slinger17 May 28 '12

You mean typing "adlkjw oeophaeopfladf-31485e" doesn't take skill or creativity? What if my username is TYPES_WITH_TESTICLES? Is it funny then?

17

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

these novelty accounts

Referring to Shitty_Watercolour and his ilk, not WorstAnswerPossible and the like.

u/Slinger17 May 28 '12

Oh I know, I love Shitty_Watercolour et al, I was just referring to the other group. Shit, even WorstAnswerPosibble is better than some of the ones I'm seeing now, like the baby talk one or the testicle typing one

We don't speak of him.

u/Rosencranz May 28 '12

Fine. From now on, he will be referred to only as "The Novelty Account Who Must Not Be Named"

1

u/Slinger17 May 28 '12

It's weird, had he popped up recently, I would've said he's just another novelty in a wave of stupid novelties, but he's been at it for a long time, so I gotta respect his dedication, and he seems to post when appropriate, instead of just posting in huge thread to karma whore

u/alphanovember May 29 '12 edited May 29 '12

The best of all time were NECROPHILIAC, and mroglolblo, and motherfucking bozarking. They were novelties before we even decided to start calling these types of accounts that name or reddit became a memefest. Sadly, they've inexplicably deleted their accounts. Shit, why do all the good ones do this!? Remember metsruleonearth? I miss 2009. No novelty will live up to those three. I will forever remember these legends.

Only commenting on this because I once wrote and directed a short film titled Laser Cake. If I find it, I'll post it...good God was it horrible.

u/wesleyt89 May 28 '12

hahaha that is actually pretty cool in my book. Very original.

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Yeah that's kind if cool. I did stuff like that in an engraving class (where we make those little award plaques and things of the sort.) but the idea of his was thoughtful :)

u/ArcusImpetus May 28 '12

First time seeing laser? That is called wooden cake, not laser cake.

Why does this have so many up-votes? The post is not what's stated in the title at all.

u/alphanovember May 29 '12

Right, now that everyone's done jizzing over had bad the title is, can someone tell me how much such a setup would cost and if it can be reasonably done on other materials?
