Please pardon the slop, maybe this free tool is helpful to someone else.

For adapting 2d content to a full dome show I was looking for a simple tool to move some layers around, simulate the view and create a live dome master. Blendy Dome VJ appears abandoned and i couldn’t find something similar that supports Syphon input.

Dome Sim allows you to input images, videos, syphon or (virtual and real) cameras, move them around a virtual dome and get a feel how the content may behave. It can output the full dome master via syphon or to a dedicated monitor/output.

In this set, I wanted to create tension by combining the dark and disturbing with the attractive and sensual.

Seven original VJ loops are combined with effects, trimming, random playback and more to create an extensive Resolume deck.

I even created calm and active versions for most of the columns, making it easier to visualize the drop. Mix between columns and layers to build a flowing mix that stays on-theme.

Motion graphic jobs for a/v companies, do they exist?

Im a skilled video/ projection artist, my work is mainly personal and experimental projects that I do in a fine art context. My work usually “wows” people , but it doesn’t pay much.

I’d like to think there’s a world where I could be hired by local a/v production companies to design motion graphics/ projection mapping for their clients. I live in a city that has lots of conventions and big corporate events, so there are quite a few of the these a/v companies.

What I want to know, do these types of jobs exist? Who does the designing usually for projected motion graphics at events?

A few things-
I’m 100% happy with boring corporate work.

I’ve tried to shop myself around for this sort of thing, where I’d be using my own equipment, or renting it. But my projectors can’t compete with the professionals. And I found my budget would be drained by the cost of rental equipment. So I want to work with an a/v company that has their own gear.
