MadMapper, Queen of Mapping, adds timelines, clips, more in v6

How far MadMapper has come. The tool, built as a collaboration between Swiss GarageCube and French studio 1024 architecture, helped define projection mapping for a generation of visualists. It has matured into a broadly versatile media tool, and v6 brings timelines, montage tracks, clips, audio features, and more to manage your project work, all wrapped into a new UI. Here’s the quick rundown.

Paris’ recent TouchDesigner Event is a window into the scene

What can the city of light be as a hub for TouchDesigner? Recently, the debut summit there offered a first look. The media art scene is defined by its communities — how they share practice and push one another further. So we invited Amir B Ash (OVVO Studio, MUTEK.AE) for insights into what Paris’ first TouchDesigner meeting brought and how you might apply it to communities where you live.

Glitch out LUTs in Resolume in this must-see tutorial, plus Wire presets

I love this idea: take your LUTs (color Lookup Tables), and mess with them creatively via code. Resolume covers the technique in their latest tutorial, though you could also drop these into other environments (or your video editor). They’ve also got a how-to on packaging Wire presets, taking advantage of that functionality.
