I'm using this white flash to generate different colors in madmapper by changing the RGB values.

Madmapper Project

Madmapper is a projection mapping software and my project is about projecting onto 3D surfaces and trying to figure out what are the capabilities and limitations of the software. I started to use the software last Wednesday (21st of June) since then I could manage to use the software on a basic level. On a basic level I mean being familiar with the interface and tested a few simple ideas. For example I set an image of a room into the preview output window and made simple mapping such as rectangles with different colors and with videos. As I was watching the tutorials I had to realize there is a lot of "pre-production" involved when a full scale project is being made using a mapping software like Madmapper. So in order to be able to use the software in it's full "potential" I need to use other software. These software are Adobe Premier pro, After Effects, Quartz Composer, Ableton Live. My initial plan is to have samples of clips - audio and video, and synchro...
