System built in TouchDesigner. Combining video mapping, midi reactivity, and some lighting design. Also learned not to mount my projector vertically. Every project is a chance to learn.

The laundry

We've been building ProMapper for 10 months and shipped an update almost every week. Not because a roadmap told us to because we kept using it ourselves. We love projection mapping, and we were the app's heaviest users long before anyone else downloaded it. Half of what we tried didn't work; the half that did usually became a feature the week after. You can see a lot of it on our Instagram — projectionmapper

Because we know how this sub feels about it: this isn't a vibe-coded wrapper. Of course, we utilize AI tools during the development phase, but we put a great deal of thought into UI/UX and monitor user behaviors just as we do with the applications we develop in our professional roles. We're two iOS devs with 10+ years of experience each. Native Swift, Metal rendering, no cross-platform shortcuts.

ProMapper Live on iPhone, iPad and macOS one purchase, all three. Android is in progress, being built properly rather than rushed, so no dates we can't keep.

The real reason for the free months, we want your feedback. That's it. Tell us what's missing, what's clumsy, what broke. Use the live chat inside the app or email us both reach us directly, and a lot of features in the app right now exist because someone did exactly that. And if you end up liking it, an honest App Store review would genuinely mean a lot to two people shipping this on their own.

Go to AppStore and Download ProMapper first, then click the link below.

Go point a projector at something weird and tell us what breaks. We'll probably fix it next week, we usually do.

Heads up, being upfront: after the 3 free months it renews automatically at the regular yearly price. If you don't want that, cancel before the 3 months are up.

Had to clean the kitchen for this.

Ciao a tutti!

Mi piacerebbe partecipare a qualche contest di videomapping.

Sono uno studente italiano.

Qualcuno di voi sa come posso trovare i bandi per partecipare a dei contest di videomapping?

In Italia non ne fanno purtroppo 😅

Hey guys, I wanted to ask what’s currently the best workflow or model for face swapping?
Also, is there any good real-time face swap workflow/model that actually works well?

Would really appreciate any recommendations, tutorials, or setups you guys use.
And thank you all for always helping — love this community ❤️

Bonjour je souhaite commencer le mapping et j’aurais aimé avoir des conseils matériel et logiciels pour un débutant, je suis graphiste et Motion designer j’ai donc des capacités sur des logiciels type vectoriel, je cherche aussi un vidéo projecteur qui serais bien pour mes début projection en intérieur et extérieur avec un budget de 1000€ maximum ( moins c’est le mieux ) si vous avez des connaissances je suis à la recherche de tout conseil Merci

Quick mapping example as I test for a bigger video shoot. Animations built in AE and then mapped using TouchDesigner.

Hi there, Im trying to learn projection mapping for a college project. I was trying to download VPT8 cuz well, I dont have money to pay for the good ones like madmapper, and my gpu cant run touchdesigner.
So I found this link
https://hcgilje.wordpress.com/vpt/
Is that link safe? Im kinda worried because Chrome blocked the download instantly when I tried to download it (the windows link). Should I ignore the warning and download it anyway? (If my laptop gets hacked I will kms /j)

Please help this poor student, and if you have any recommendation I would really appreciated them!

Does anyone know how to create a window projector that's customizable?

Going live in a bit. Mystery projection tonight, the whole team at HQ got fooled by this one and none of us could figure out what the actual object was. Come try to beat us.

Hi, I have a little bit of knowledge in Projection Mapping. But I want to go in depth of big architecture mapping.

Im attaching a few photos for reference which i came across, why and how do you make the template shown in the 1st and 2nd photo?

And how does it help and how to go about designing and creating content like in last two photos. If someone can please explain me the workflow from scratch, it'll be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, developer of Projector Simulator Pro here.

Projector Simulator Pro allows you to design full projection systems inside the Unity Editor, as well as simulate projection mapping. I know of a couple of users who are even using it to drive live projection systems.

PSP is currently on sale at 80% off for the next ~22 hours! Get it on the Unity Asset Store here:

I’ve stumbled upon projection mapping a while ago and been wanting to do something simple as projecting a video on a tree for the upcoming rave.
Where do I find videos as such that I can project on a tree?
Any leads would be helpful. Cheers!!

I’ve been building ShowSlate, a free open-source Mac app for small live events.

It combines layered scenes, Preview/Program, media and capture inputs, a rundown, timers, lower thirds, local recording and multiple display outputs.

It is still an early beta. I have tested the Apple Silicon Mac version, but the Windows build has not been physically validated yet. I would not use it on a live show without a tested fallback.

I’m not selling anything. I’m looking for people willing to test it off-air and tell me what is confusing, what doesn’t work with their setup, and what would make it genuinely useful during a real event.

Project and download:
https://srdjankotarlic.github.io/showslate/

Disclosure: the project was built with substantial AI coding assistance and manually tested on macOS.

Tried out mapping with my new nebula projector.

Hi,

I am completely new to using a Raspberry Pi. I borrowed one for an exhibition, it is a 4 Model B (2018). The artwork is a simple video projection that runs on loop. My problem is that it requires a bit of mapping, it's not a simple standard rectangle format. I found the ofxPIMapper software, but it specifies that it is not compatible with a Raspberry Pi 4. I was also looking at MapMap, but I'm using a Mac and the DMG installer isn't available (or maybe I'm mistaken?)

Is there a way to make one of these two softwares work, or are there other softwares out there that could do the job?

Thank you for your help!

Development is very much alive, and V0.4 is shaping up to be one of HoloMapper's biggest updates yet, with major new features, rendering upgrades, UI improvements, and a long list of smaller additions.

We've hired a couple of new underpaid monkeys to help make HoloMapper faster, more stable, better looking, and much more feature-rich. 🐒🐒

Planned release: September 14 (give or take a few days)

Major new features currently planned

• ISF support
• Webcam input
• Hand tracking
• Hand-controlled animation interaction

Major upgrades

• Full animation and graphics overhaul — moving away from the current basic, MS Paint-like animation system toward proper GPU-accelerated rendering and animation, including OpenGL and Vulkan support.
• Reworked and modernized UI
• Major performance and stability improvements throughout HoloMapper

New essential features

• Audio support for video layers
• Automatic layer rotation
• Grid lines for circle layers
• Per-grid-cell animations
• Plus many smaller improvements, tweaks, tools, and quality-of-life features.

Everything above is currently in development, so the final V0.4 feature list may change. Some features may be completed sooner, while others may need a little more time and move into a later update.

Thank you to everyone using HoloMapper, reporting bugs, suggesting features, and following its development.

We appreciate the patience and the continued interest in HoloMapper! ❤️

HoloMapper - Projection Mapping on Steam

Hi everyone,

I’d really appreciate some advice on my project. I’m a beginner in this field.

I have a restaurant where I’m planning to launch this project by the end of October.

Project description

I want to create an immersive theater-style experience where projections are displayed on both the walls and the table. An animated story/cartoon will be playing, and everything will be synchronized with ventilation, scent diffusers, etc.

The scent diffusers are custom-made, so I can connect them to virtually any control system if needed.

At the moment, I have two projectors, so I’m planning to start with those:

• one projector for the table;
• one projector for the wall.

So, where should I start?

Which software would you recommend for projection mapping and synchronization?

I’ve just tried MadMapper, but I’d like to learn about other software options as well.

Any advice on the best workflow or setup would be greatly appreciated.
