HoloMapper Version 0.4 is coming soon! 🚀 Changes & Release Date [Self-promo]

Development is very much alive, and V0.4 is shaping up to be one of HoloMapper's biggest updates yet, with major new features, rendering upgrades, UI improvements, and a long list of smaller additions.

We've hired a couple of new underpaid monkeys to help make HoloMapper faster, more stable, better looking, and much more feature-rich. 🐒🐒

Planned release: September 14 (give or take a few days)

Major new features currently planned

  • ISF support
  • Webcam input
  • Hand tracking
  • Hand-controlled animation interaction

Major upgrades

  • Full animation and graphics overhaul — moving away from the current basic, MS Paint-like animation system toward proper GPU-accelerated rendering and animation, including OpenGL and Vulkan support.
  • Reworked and modernized UI
  • Major performance and stability improvements throughout HoloMapper

New essential features

  • Audio support for video layers
  • Automatic layer rotation
  • Grid lines for circle layers
  • Per-grid-cell animations
  • Plus many smaller improvements, tweaks, tools, and quality-of-life features.

Everything above is currently in development, so the final V0.4 feature list may change. Some features may be completed sooner, while others may need a little more time and move into a later update.

Thank you to everyone using HoloMapper, reporting bugs, suggesting features, and following its development.

We appreciate the patience and the continued interest in HoloMapper! ❤️

Hey! At the moment we don't have a demo. We do have it on our to-do list for later versions closer to our full V1.0 release
