MadLaser integrates your existing content pipeline, allowing to vectorize movies and materials. Do your mapping in AfterEffects just like usual and convert your videos to Laser Vector Lines. Or use your regular and loved materials, in one click. We worked hard on a next-level vectorizer, so it should handle the most precise and demanding projects.

Templates are already included, as well as examples in the online library. A laser can only output a limited number of shapes before flickering or loosing precision. Got a heavy design to display? No problem, MadLaser comes to the rescue, allowing to dispatch complex shapes to multiple lasers! It's easier than ever. Discover the MadLaser features in details with the MadLaser guideaccessible from the MadMapper help menu. Video tutorials are available on Youtube too! Lasers are powerful and dangerous, hence they should be handled with care and safety for the audience in mind. Please comply with your local regulations. MadMapper / GarageCube / 1024 architecture cannot be hold responsible for misusage of laser equipment. Don’t shoot rays towards your audience, always use a safety switch on your hardware and specify a safety area. Avoid burning your laser hardware by limiting the laser scan rate.
