Finally, here’s the video report of Abies Electronicus,
shot in Brussels, BE, 2012.
technical info for da nerd:
4 Video Projectors 20k @1024*768
each projector was Space Scanned using MadMapper
Custom QC based software
26 LED rgb fixtures
DMX flashlights
DMX control over the existing facades
Lots of custom QC plugins
Running entirely off a single MacPro
Building the structure.
The project will run during all december, every day, in Brussels.
Back from holidays…
Working on “Crise”, at the MAC/Creteil near Paris.
A quick photo report of our little installation + mapping, yesterday, at the WanderLust opening in Paris.
Minimalistic chic mapping, using 2x HD 18k beamers provided by Manganelli. All the content is generated in realtime at a massive 3840*1080 pixels, @60FPS. Mapping powered by MadMapper.
Just back from the MApping Festival in Geneva, where we played a short teaser of our next show in the coming, CRISIS.
A bunch of cardboard boxes, midi controllers and particles.
Stay tuned of a work in progress coverage of the show.
Yeah, along with a bunch of nice features… such as bezier warps, circles in perspective, presets, DMX input…

So there’s a party. And you’ve got a computer. Great.
What can you do in 15 minutes?
Open up MadMapper, launch a few apps from the MAD_Lab, and you’re good to go !
What’s the MAD_Lab you may ask … ?
It is a set of tiny little applications designed to provide content for your MadMapper parties… yes, no more VJloops, no more AfterEffects rendering.
All the content is generated on location, in realtime.
FYI the MAD_Lab will be available soon (next week ?) for all MadMapper users, for free…
Here’s what Pier can do in 15 minutes, at a party in the Drome, FR.
Outlining the trees ? … mmm, not really a problem !
Needless to say it was our best show ever !
Best video operator / Ed
Best light operator / Tim
Best setting / The lake
Best audio act / Simian Mobile disco
Best photographer / Simon
Best crowd / We love you !
Hi,
in this tutorial, we’ll use After Effects to produce a QuickTime movie that we will remap on a building.
We’ll also need Photoshop to adjust our initial pictures.
The effect we’re after is a Glowing-Scan of the building.
The technique is rather simple, but it illustrates the process to achieve a photo-based architectural mapping.
This tutorial assumes that you know the basics of Adobe Photoshop + After Effects and MadMapper.
You can download a demo version of MadMapper at MadMapper’website
We’ll go from the initial photo on the left to the final mapping on the right:
Video report of an Augmented Dance session test.
I finally managed to reduce the latency a bit, perceptually at least.
Using a Kinect for skeleton tracking,
QC to render the lines (+1024_ParticleWarfare + 1024_Rope + 1024_Skeleton),
MadMapper (+Syphon) to match video and real action,
MaxForLive for the randomly generated piano sounds.
And a Canon 5D SLR for the shooting.
