Hey guys i´m looking for a software to simulate some Projection mapping,
i thought madmapper could recognize it as a virtual Projector and in the software i can build up the stage and some fixtures to map them.
Anyone has some good suggestions?

Thanks

mad mapper can simulate.
Just load a photo - or a 3d rendering, or a space scan - in your projector background and you're good to go.

hmm good idea, will try it Thanks!

but i mean more a real simulation like building a 3d room in cad and putting some projectors in it also for better planing where to put the projectors?

[franz]

use 3dsmax then

placing projectors is simple, it's a mean between:
- where you CAN place them
- where you cover your wanted surface as much as possible
- where you have the less deformation in your projected image

ok still nothing out there for what i´m looking for, Thanks

you can use Touchdesigner, D3, AI or pandora...

Touchdesigner is free for non commercial use and is much deeper than just a previz... it is PC only and learning curve is steep... for that reason it is not optimum for many situations... but it can handle the more difficult ones with ease.

will take a look for it thank you!

I know you can simulate a video projector with Capture Polar (http://www.capturesweden.com) but didn't look at it deeply and I don't know if it does what you expect
