    by Benoit » Mon Nov 14, 2022 4:44 pm

    Dear mappers,

    We're thrilled to announce you that from today you can BETA test the upcoming MadMapper version 5.2!

    It's full of laser goodies (Laser 3d surfaces, Laser generators, Laser projector delay), it brings Xbox controller support, depth masker (Kinect One) update, dmx csv import, a new Preferences panel, PONK support, color profiles for NDI/FFmpeg and much more!

    Download the BETA directly from your user account on the MadMapper website and of course feel free to share your feedback or bug report to support@madmapper.com

    MadMapper 5.2 BETA Release notes

    ADDITIONS
    -Added YUV (YCrCb) Color-Profile control in video-inputs / NDI / FFmpeg (autodetected if possible, user setting if not) for better color accuracy
    -DMX Fixtures CSV import: handle fixture name & group hierarchy
    -Added support for Kinect ONE (v2) on Windows, macOS Intel & macOS Silicon (M1) & improved Kinect Masker generator
    -Added support for Intel RealSense on Windows (works on macOS versions up to Monterey)
    -Added support for Xbox controllers (wired and bluetooth on Windows, bluetooth only on macOS)
    -Added "CUE ALL", "Copy Settings“, "Paste Settings" & "Reset to default values” when right clicking on parameter groups (for Surface FX, Materials etc.)
    -Added Copy/Paste Output Geometry / Input Geometry / FX Settings / Laser Settings on surface context menu
    -New Text Generator (supports all installed fonts, multiline, text alignment...)
    -New Generator: Countdown
    -MadLaser: added Laser 3D surfaces
    -MadLaser: added PONK support (in & out). PONK stands for "Pathes Over NetworK", it's an open source protocol to transmit geometry over network (mostly designed for laser)
    -MadLaser: added Laser Generators - Polyline Mixer, Countdown & Text Generators
    -MadProjectorControl: Added projector lamps lifetime info

    IMPROVEMENTS
    -Quad & Laser Quad: When adding / removing mesh warping points or generating a mesh grid in bezier mode, preserve transformation as much as possible
    -Improved media sampling on surfaces (black outside media rectangle while preserving pixel perfect mapping)
    -Revamped Preferences dialog with new Startup section
    Improved UI-state restoration, now saved in project as well

    FIXES
    -Fixed MIDI port naming when using multiple devices (annoying with MIDI Out module & feedback device assignment)
    -Fixed game-controllers Y axis being upside-down
    -Fixed a crash when exporting to MiniMad on macOS 10.13
    -Fixed AVFoundation video-inputs not functioning when reconnected

    A MadMapper 5 license is required to use this Beta version

    (Don't forget that this is a BETA version, so use at your own risk if you're in production)

    We hope you'll love it!

    Enjoy!

    The MAD Team

    Many thanks, Garagecube team!!

    Favorite additions:
    * MIDI device fixes
    * “cue all” buttons for FX and for sections of FX or material settings

    Beta 2 isn't loading for me. It's crashing immediately on the splash screen. (Windows 10 pro). I don't have any issues with Beta 1.

    I think yopu should try running MadMapper Beta 2 in compatibility mode for a previous version of Windows. Right-click on the MadMapper executable file, go to "Properties," navigate to the "Compatibility" tab, and select an earlier version of Windows.
