I am doing a lot of laser-stuff with MAX, but now I am trying to make a preview in jitter, and it is the first time I am looking at jitter at all.

I am peeking my samples in to a jittermatrix, but how can I make the samples as smooth lines instead of just dots, which looks horrible I higher resolutions?

I have played around with jit.wake, but that just mess the expression up so its not in par with the actual lasers.

I have made a small patch showing what I am doing.

Hi there.

When I run jit.catch in mode 1, it behaves exactly as my lasers.

Thank you 2K, that was spot on.

I have now got a moving camera position to work, but how do I add a one-point perspective to the shape. 

A cone, so it looks like the shape is coming from the laser.

Maybe changing the draw_mode to line_loop will give you a similar result to what you are aiming. Though it will still looks 2D if you rotate the scene.

Hey Mikkelm, dunno if you solved it or if you still need the "laser preview" but I had to go back to this patch and ended up doing it like this:

It looks like just what I needed. I am currently on an old labtop while my normal one is in for repair, so it flickers like hell. Probably because its running 100% CPU.
