Green Hippo has officially released their Hippotizer 3.2 software update. They’ve added a lot of really cool features to their already powerful and easy to use Zookeeper software.
A couple of the features I’m looking forward to are the built in region mapping (for 3D mapping). A crossfade engine that goes way beyond just crossfading media. It creates smooth transitions for anything you can control. So media, FX, color or geometry changes, anything! Lastly they have a nice preset component that makes it really easy to create, store, and load, all kinds of looks. Again it goes way beyond just the clips themselves to include FX, multiple layers, whatever you want.
There’s a lot more than what I’ve listed. Head on over to Green Hippo’s site for the full info on their release.
Hi guys, I promised some updates with our new projection setup. I’m not ready to go in-depth on the setup yet but here are some pictures showing the 105′ wide image. I apologize in advance for the iPhone pictures but it’s all I have handy at the moment.
Ok, it’s been an exciting week! After over a year of planning and demoing equipment we finally moved forward on our permanent install environmental projection system. It’s not set up quite yet but the gear is here!
While testing the Hippos and getting them to talk to each other I played around with sending the outputs to Light Converse, my virtualization program. It’s pretty cool, the hippos can output a video feed over the network to LC. Then LC will show you the video on your video wall or projectors in the simulation. So not only can you preview all your lighting, you can preview video as well!
