you'll be happy to know that we've added circular fixtures in madmapper 4.
the feature is in beta 10, which will be out very soon.

you could use OSC to send data from the raspi to MadMapper for instance.

FYI multi masks per surface is fully supported in MadMapper 4. why not try the beta ?

Create a quad surface, put a live video feed on it (through the media panel) Add a FX to your quad, like Chroma key. Key out your green color. underneath that surface, create another surface and put any media you like on it. Then output everything to a desktop window instead of a projector (there's ...

I have MAdMapper running with Catalina, so I assume the problem was related to your computer...

depending on your output resolution, gfx card specs and hardrive, you might use Syphon Recorder (mac) or Spout Recorder (windows). Just select your projector in the projector tab, and enable syphon/spout output. Recommended computer: Win 10 Nvidia 2080 SSD nvme M2 (such as samsung evo plus 970) anot...

thanks for the kind words.
Switching from 3.xx to 4.xx will be a paid upgrade (tho' much cheaper than buying a new license)

no idea sorry. I usually do it "manually " in autocad using the lens specs.

can you expand on "unable to launch" ?
does it crash, what happens exactly ?
we need more info to help you.

we're making a beta 8 of MM4 that should address these issues,
using directX to push the frames to your graphic card.

Be sure to test when it is out,
and please report back !
cheers

good point.

we're planning for a complete re-write of the control list.
not for 4.0 tho', but very certainly during the 4.xx cycle.

having a descent MM manual is a real concern for us.
We're on it .... but that thing takes ages.

just make one pixel fixtures instead of bars, and place your fixtures where you want ...

also, if the fixture filtering is disabled, the fixture will sample single pixels at the center of each cell,
allowing you to effectively have "not active" image space in between pixels.

you can already control a surface's output:
- position x/y
- scale
- rotation
- each handle x/y position

what else would you need ?
just hit ctrl-L to focus on the control list ...
