Hippo/ Projection Mapping

[rmrlife021402]

Is their any programs like the ZOOKEEPER or HippoPortamus, that have at least a trial version of them. I am a college student interested in projection mapping and media servers. I am just trying to test out a program to see if its something I actually want to do, I do not have the money to take a Hippo class. Any help is appreciated.


Thank you

If you are just playing around, VPT is a free program to get you some involvement in mapping/layering.

I believe Arkaos MediaMaster, Resolume Arena, Catalyst, and PRG Mbox Extreme all have versions you can download that are fully functional but just watermark the output.

fyi - PRG Mbox Extreme is Mac only.

What type of hardware do you have to play around with this?

Also, more experimental software like Isadora, MAX, MadMapper, TouchDesigner, etc almost always have a time limited, save disabled, or otherwise limited trial.

Try Arena 4, they have trail, it's great software for simple mapping...
