The regular "send frames" sketch works, but when I try to incorporate the parameters to my sketch, the visualization doesn't show. If it does it can be easily scaled up to any size, if using the correct equipment.I am having trouble sending a sketch through Syphon to Madmapper. The idea behind the small-scale at the moment is to ensure that the projection works on a curved surface. I have three options: 1) Hang the sphere from the roof 2) Use a stand to mount the sphere 3) Use only 1/2 the sphere and mount a dome on the wall. The final question that this experiment raises is that of how to mount the sphere if that is what I am using. This will require at the minimum 3x projectors, which I may not be able to access at this point. This is not a major issue, but it would be brilliant to map across the entire 360 surface of the object. Using only one projector only covers the front 1/2 of the sphere. To cover the entire front 1/2 of the sphere the projector has to be setup at the same height as the sphere. A couple of issues cropped up which need further thought. I’m very happy with the results of the test overall. Once MadMapper is open you can select the syphon stream and setup the projection mapping. the ability to map onto spheres and more advanced shapes).

MadMapperenables more advanced projection mapping than Resolume Arena (e.g. You drop the plugin onto your final composition output which sends the final video stream to the MadMapper application. Syphon is a framework for Mac OS X which enables you to stream video between supported applications with zero latency (similar in some ways to Rewire for audio). The basic project was created in Resolume Arena (again using some demo footage), I downloaded a plugin called Syphon ( ) which you install in the Arena application effects folder. Overall, a very successful test and I’m very happy with the results. The overall aim of the project is either to project onto an object like this or something similar on a larger scale (e.g. This video is the result of my initial project tests, this time mapping the projections onto a sphere.
