MWM and Resolume 3D Video Mapping Demo

In this demo I model a basic pyramid in Cinema 4D and then export the object as an OBJ into MWM. Then with Resolume via Syphon mix video footage onto the UV mapped pyramid all in realtime. Project files can be downloaded on my website: http://goo.gl/KFmlJF

  I've been experimenting with MWM (Multi Window Mapper) a brand new 3D video mapping software for OS X and Windows.  The software allows UV mapped 3D objects to be imported, textured and lit all  in real-time using entirely GPU processing!  With the built-in support for Syphon, this allows the integration with other VJ apps like Resolume or VDMX.   This new workflow allows for all kinds of new creative possibilities with mapping onto 3D geometry.  In this demo, I model a basic pyramid in Cinema 4D and then export the object as an OBJ into MWM.   Then with Resolume via Syphon mix video footage onto the UV mapped pyramid all in real-time.  This Demo is meant to be an overview of techniques and workflow not a step by step tutorial or introduction to the software.  If you are new to MWM you should check out the creator's intro to MWM video.

All the project files for this Demo can be downloaded below: MWM - 3D pyramid demo files

If you have been using MWM or have other example projects please share your work in the comments below.

Software Download:

Since the developer has closed down his website for MWM I'm considering this software abandonware.  If you want to experiment with Mac version you can download the trial of the software here.  Sorry, I don' t have the PC version.

Install the Apple ProRES codec without Final Cut or ProApps

Thanks to the very old forum discussion over at Creative Cow.  I was able to install the Apple ProRES codec for quicktime without installing Final Cut X or Final Cut Studio.  I'm sorry apple, but I abandoned Final Cut years ago.  However my new capture card the Black Magic Intensity Extreme can only capture in Uncompressed or PDX.  To use ProRES requires that you have a ProApp like Final Cut X, Final Cut Pro or Motion installed.  I still think ProRES is the best working video codec around, especially for Mac, but I don't want Final Cut on my computer! Install Instructions:

There is a workaround however.  First start by downloading the ProApp codec update direct from the apple website.  If you don't have a ProApp installed on the computer the update won't work.However using the unpkg software created by timdoug you can extract the codec files and install them manually by moving them into the appropriate library folder.

Move the following files to: /Mackintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/

and some more files to /Mackintosh HD/Library/Video/Professional Video Workflow Plug-Ins

After that the Codecs will show up in any app the uses the Quicktime Codec library and can be used in programs like Media Express.

Note:  that Adobe CC (creative cloud) on OS X 10.8 or 10.9 does not require the quicktime codec or ProApp to export ProRes via After Effects or Adobe Media Encoder, since the OS X has the codec installed in the system level, however older applications still require the quicktime components and therefor this workaround is necessary.
