Video Mapping, is possible?

Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

Hi

I have recently been using QLC+ for lights and I am very satisfied with using this software!
Now I would like to use video to have a Video mapping (Projection mapping). With Qlc+ is it possible to have the mapping tools as used in Resolume? or can QLC+ be used simultaneously with Resolume or Madmapper?
I hope this is the right section to ask this question?

Thank you

QLC+ does not do video mapping. Just use specialized software.
To synchronize QLC+ with the other software, you can use artnet, sACN, OSC, MIDI protocols. Look at the other software and find a match.

Good morning,
I use HEAVYM for video mapping. I control HEAVYM from DMX values ​​sent from QLC+.

Hi,
that's great news, can you give me some advice on how to do it?
Thank you

If some absolute madlad developer had time they could merge MapMap in. It's a Qt application too.

Another need would be to be able to control a Stepper motor for which I already have the controller but I don't know if Qlc+ can generate a movement signal as it does for a Moving Head.

You'll need something to translate DMX into that movement data. There's plenty of options like Arduino libraries.

I have already used Arduino in the past to move Stepper motor, it would just be necessary to understand if QLC + can generate a signal that goes to Arduino.

You define all your mapping sequences in HEAVYM, possibly including synchronization with sound. When your mapping project is finished, you launch QLC+ on the same PC. In your QLC project you create a new universe or you assign a dmx channel per HEAVYM function that you wish to execute (example: play a HEAVYM sequence, fade the video projector, etc.). You integrate your mapping sequence into your chaser, into a show, into a collection... like a classic projector.
