MadMapper 6.2.0 Beta is available, free for v6 owners : https://madmapper.com/myaccount/downloads
Featuring:
-Notch files playback. You can now load your Notch Blocks directly into MadMapper, which will populate exposed parameters accordingly: control everything from the timeline, map the content on quads or use it to send DMX data. When it comes to demanding realtime graphics, Notch is simply one of the best toolkit around. You'll need a Notch license to run your blocks. Drag and drop your block into MadMapper and it will appear as a media. Windows ONLY.
-Task editor to group Cues and play them back in a theatrical fashion. Group cues together to form a Task. Trigger tasks one after the other for theater shows. Just like a CueList.
-Media pipe integration. Track hands, skeletons and faces via a dedicated Module. You can run multiple instances of the Module at the same time and track from different cameras or media.Built in DefaultEasing to smoothly interpolate parameters when no detection occurs. Perfect for your next interactive piece!
-TouchDesigner integration. Simplify your setup and load your TOX files in MadMapper. The feature is accessible though a dedicated Module that will generate published textures (optional) and parameters. Note: that you'll need a TD license to run your .tox
-WebMedia + WindowGrabber modules. Use any webpage as a media, and grab any application's window, directly into MadMapper.
-Stackable Audio FX ! Supports VST3 and AudioUnits. Add FX on your audio track within a scene/cue, or directly on the master.
-CIExy color sampling. The pros asked for it: CIExy color sampling now comes to DMX fixtures. No more manually converting values. And it's been used on Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey"!
Don't use it for production yet, but we would be happy if you could test it and send us your feedback ! Thanks!
Happy mapping
The MadMapper team.
