The MadMapper provides a simple and easy tool for mapping projections.
This software is now compatible with macOS and Windows.
It removes a lot of the confusion related to this medium, effectively demystifying the process, allowing you, the artist or designer to focus on creating your content, and making the experience of mapping textures to physical objects in real time, fun.
MadMapper is built around the idea of sharing video content between applications.
To accomplish this task, MadMapper for macOS uses a framework called Syphon and for Windows a framework called Spout.
Any application that can send its output the Syphon server or Spout Server , the video is automatically available to MadMapper for perspective transformations and warping.
There is an ever-growing list of software supporting the Syphon or Spout framework, such as:
Modul8
Quartz Composer
VDMX 5
CoGe
OpenFrameworks
Cinder
MaxMsp / Jitter
Unity3d
Processing
Resolume

The approach that one should assume with MadMapper is that it is extracting elements from a source, generally referred to as “the input.” This “input” can be any material you import into MadMapper, such as an image, QuickTime movie or Syphon input. These extracted elements are called “surfaces” that consist of multiple geometric primitives, such as a quad, a triangle or a grid. These surfaces can then be transformed and arranged as desired within the video canvas called “the stage.”
