It depends on your budget and possible projects. We also support ShowNET protocol – DAC, so any LaserWorld projector with ShowNET (Tarm are good machines) will work directly with just a network cable (Auto IP works fine)Īnyone got a quick suggestion for a simple laser setup for testing this stuff? We prefer working with Etherdream (ethernet – 16 bits XY) or Helios (USB – 12 bits XY).

It supports FX4 through Pangolin Beyond, so you need to be on Windows and have the licence, that’s not the option we promote, but since many people in the business have lasers with only FB4 DAC intergrated (and no ILDA input) we decided to handle it. MadLaser BETA available Īlso worth reading this comment from mad-matt: SVG file import to render precise vector graphicsįull options: angle optimization, blanking, draw order, maximize FPS, time offsetting signals, etc Laser lines just like regular lines you’re used to Realtime vectorization of video or material content Multi protocol: Ilda through EtherDream or Helios USB, Shownet, FB4 through Pangolin Beyond Unlimited lasers (till your computer melts) Meanwhile, specs, as described from our friends in Geneva: (or subscribe but… watching CDM is more fun, no?) There are video tutorials coming I’ll keep an eye out for those for y’all. They also promise tricks for rendering complex shapes with Laser Dispatch. MadLaser will feature programmable laser shaders – GLSL-coded vector graphics that translate to laser materials.

Then there’s the laser control and rendering side. You can interface with Shownet and Ilda and all the usual protocols. Got material you want to render in lasers? You can bring in video and MadLaser will vectorize it, even starting with tools like Adobe After Effects (as many mappers already do). And there are a ton of features, both on the laser control side, and interfacing with content and protocols. MadLaser is what it sounds like – a tool for controlling lasers with an emphasis on usability, much in the way MadMapper made projection mapping more accessible. (Safety rules do apply here – very, very seriously.)
Madmapper video software#
GarageCube, makers of MadMapper and the software that helped popularize projection mapping, are now about to take on frickin’ lasers.
