Nuevo Mapio 2 Beta ya está disponible

IR Mapio se actualiza  y pasa a ser MAPIO 2. A primera vista nos encontramos con un programa completo (anteriormente era un plugin que corría bajo otro software de visuales). MAPIO 2 tendrá 2 versiones una Lite y una Pro, me imaginoq que el precio y las diferentes opciones de cada software marquen la diferencia.

Os dejo toda la información (en inglés) y un video demo.

We are happy to announce the result of our extensive work on a new version of our mapping software – MAPIO 2! It is created almost from the scratch with intention to make your experience comfortable and easy while reaching the best results.

Beta version evaluation
Features of the Beta are not restricted, but application will start displaying a warning that you are using Beta version after September 1st, 2013. Please note, we do not recommend using the application on liability actions without proper testing.

About 3D Collada import
The first requirement to import DAE files is to have at least one camera in the scene. The second requirement – exporting Collada must be made as triangles. The model should be low-polygonal, as each triangle is imported into slice (we recommend no more than 100-200 triangles in a visible scene). For Input and Output maps, you can specify different cameras. For Input map you can use texture mapping coordinates (UV Map) and at the same time attach this texture as the source for a slice.

Known issues
Beta3 version has few issues which will be fixed in a future release.
Currently there is no support for Capture Devices for Mac OS.
Timeline and management of videoclips (panel that opens by clicking on the clip preview) will be improved.
Split tool in combination with other tools currently doesn’t work properly, it’s being fixed.
We are working on improvements continuously.

Importmant notes
Please note, MAPIO 2 FFGL mode is not compatible with MAPIO 1 FFGL. There is a problem in their simultaneous work in Resolume (and other FFGL hosts). To disable the loading of MAPIO 1 you can rename the folder «C:\Program Files (x86)\Visution\Mapio\» or “/Applications/Mapio”. If you would like to switch back to MAPIO 1, it is enough to remove MAPIO 2 folder and change MAPIO 1 folder to the original state.

You can now download the latest MAPIO 2 Lite Beta3 version for MacOS and Windows OS.
