It’s been some time since I’ve posted to this blog. (<- I feel like I say that every time). Plenty of things going on, but I’ll have to wait for their debut before I can post about them. Recently, I took a little detour into converting GLSL shaders from Shadertoy Read more…
Looking back on my blog, I realized it is lacking in tutorials. One I’ve wanted to share for some time is about LED pixel mapping. It’s less expensive than you may think, and easy (mostly). Over the years, prices have dropped, more information has become available, and the software has Read more…

It’s been a while since I have been able to post some of my projection mapping adventures, but this one with Lazercrunk was fun. You don’t have to be local to appreciate an 8′ tall projection mapped city skyline. 10 buildings, spanning 16′ wide by 8′ high across the stage. Read more…

It’s just a thought, but as I’ve heard from other in my field, it’s no longer faux pas to switch from a Mac to PC, especially with the seemingly limitless capabilities of Touch Designer. I still think Mad Mapper & VDMX are amazing tools, but touch designer seems to be Read more…
