Update: A few weeks ago I asked this sub to beta test my 3D projection planner. Today, MappingKit V1 is officially live!
Hey everyone,
A few weeks ago, I posted here looking for beta testers for a web-based projection planning tool I was building to replace expensive corporate software.
First of all, a massive thank you to everyone that participated. The feedback, bug reports, and feature ideas I got from the first wave of testers really helped me refine the tool. I've spent the last month refining the 3D engine, and today, MappingKit V1 is officially open to the public.
A couple of things came out of this.
First: I coded a free throw-calculator that is easy to use and helps make sure a specific projector is going to be good enough for the gig. I'm currently looking for more projector/lens combos, so feel free to reach out. You can try it right here: https://www.mappingkit.com/calculator
For the bigger projects, there is a Pro part to the software where you can automate PDF luminosity studies, coverage reports, and generate "view-only" 3D links for your clients or festivals. I’ve unlocked a 7-day free trial today so you can test it on your actual upcoming gigs.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the final V1 UI. Also, let me know what specific other features you might find helpful next!
Cheers!
