Milkdrop Projection Mapping

This has not much to do with games,.. yet,.. but if you are interested in robotics, projection mapping, or software engineering, this one is worth your time.

this is how far ive got

-Resolume, only seems to support crappy webcam driver inputs and NOT the better ones from FFSplit, XSplit (which allow 60fps and bigger resolutions)

-Processing sketch, using SurfaceMapper library, and the inbuilt Video Capture library to grab input from a webcam (DOES allow for FFSplit, XSplit but these two arnt great compared to the seemingly perfect OBS Open Broadcaster Software, which has its own problem of not functioning as a webcam driver....

Im wanting to have MD on a projector in a tent/marquee, probably pointing at the corner, what would you suggest to map it so its not distorted, so therell be 6 points, the left and right corners, and the top and bottom points of the seem (where the corners meet)

I cant really do something to the presets, id prefer some software solution to map it. i was thinking using processing but using webcam software (so processing can get the video from your 'webcam') causes the frame rate to drop alot

I don't know exactly what you want but yes, it is certainly possible to mask out user defined areas of the visualisation. Make a jpg of your desired mask, load it in the comp shader section and multiply ret by the image. Not a big issue, but needs to be programmed in each preset separately.

Is it possible to do projection mapping with Milkdrop. I know that's not what its made for, but would it be possible to maby mask out certain areas of the visualization?
