Hello everyone! We hope you have been having a great summer with lots of creativity along with places to put that creativity to good use. The following are some exciting announcements we would like to bring to your attention:

- Interface settings are now saved in the Preferences
- A new Quad now automatically fills the entire view in the preview window, based on the current zoom level
- Support for the new MAD_Lab applications


Mad_Lab tools
With the release of MadMapper we are also releasing some companion applications that will expand your tool set for creating exciting video mappings. Here comes the MAD_Lab, a laboratory for experimental softwares that contains a bunch of little apps, each focusing on a special aspect we will eventually to integrate into MadMapper.

You'll need to be a registered user of MadMapper in order to run these following apps:

- MAD_Line: Allows to draw lines and animate them in realtime. It also features an export to SVG function
- MAD_GraphicPatterns: Dynamically generates graphical content to be mapped with MadMapper
- MAD_VideoDelay: Delays the incoming isight feed and places each iteration on a grid
- MAD_TextureDoubler: Allows for combining 2 Syphon inputs into one. Good for mixing VDMX and Modul8 at the same time
- MAD_GridMaker: A simple generated an animatable grid
- MAD_Equalizer : Generates a customizable audio-reactive EQ
- MAD_KinectMasker : Use your Kinect to create realtime masks

To download the update and the Mad_Lab tools you can use your MadMapper serial number to access the following page: http://www.madmapper.com/yourspace

I'm having issues setting up the kinect.
I have followed all the steps in the tutorial, but when i try to go back and activate the mask by pressing record, the camera seems to have frozen.

Is anyone else having this problem?

you seem to be missing something.
please try from start without pressing the record button at all.
the record button is there to actually "freeze" the image coming from the kinect, usefull when you're alone in your room making some test (as you can't be in front of the kinect and in front of your computer at the same time... !)

Good day

In this video tutorial, we see that MadMapper more options available? such as circles, and the possibility of manipulation of the RED GREEN BLUE, why in my version it not?

Very Good!

Those apps are great!! Thanks
In the madlab page http://www.madmapper.com/madlab/ there's an app called mad_generator which I don't see in the download section of "MadMapper yourspace page". Is it gonna be uploaded soon? Or I'm not seeing right?

We actually had to remove it from the download page as there were too many severe bugs in it… sorry. Hopefully it will be updated soon…

No worries! I'll wait until it get fixed. Does look like a great app!
