So I decided to try my hand at 3D Projection mapping. I stumbled onto a software titled VDMX, which offer the ability to manipulate the video composition, allowing mapping onto 3 dimensional objects. With the software in hand I set out to build something cost effective, visually stimulating, easy to transport, and a breeze to setup. MapMap is a free video mapping software. Projection mapping, also known as video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technology used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection. These objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings.
MapMap Alternatives. MapMap is described as 'free and open source video mapping software'. There are more than 10 alternatives to MapMap for Windows and Mac. The best alternative is QLab, which is free. Other great apps like MapMap are Resolume Avenue (Paid), Smode Studio (Paid), VPT 7 (Free) and Pandoras Box (Paid). Easily adapt your mapping to the events where you perform. OMNIDOME is a arbitrary surface projection mapping tool. It allows you to map any physical room and project virtual content back on to it. OMNIDOME comes as a fully functional Mapping software released under an OpenSource Licence, meaning it is free to download and use.
Best Free Video Mapping Software
I'm looking for a team to collaborate with to submit to this contest on behalf of my organization Truth Pharm.

This takes place in my home town. I have some concept ideas, but do not have the animation or video producing skills. The project I am thinking of will portray the struggles of addiction, the beauty of recovery and loss, but in an abstract way. Last year LUMA had about 25,000 visitors and it will be bigger this year. There is a $5000 prize for the best submission, the competition is going to be serious. So, I'm looking for a team to collaborate with. We can split the winnings evenly with my split being donated to Truth Pharm. I'm looking for serious talent in 3D mapping or the ability to learn it quick if you are already a video artist. Please share or send to your contacts! The first phase of the competition is (stupidly) July 15th and they just announced the contest.
If you feel you cannot do this - as your level of experience is too high, or you're too busy, etc. Do you have any contacts, friends, colleagues, employees or interns who may be interested?
