HeavyM
Lille, France
What it is
HeavyM is projection mapping software for creating visual stage designs and installations. It runs on Windows 8, 10, or 11 (64-bit) and macOS 10.15 or later, including Apple Silicon Macs. Its creation tools include drawing, 3D materials, visual effects, AI image and video generation, and a ready-to-use visual library. Sound analysis can synchronize effects with music beats. HeavyM accepts Syphon, Spout, and NDI video streams, including workflows involving OBS or Resolume. MIDI control is included in every edition, while OSC and DMX controls are available in Pro and Pro+. Live editions provide one video output at up to 1920 × 1200. Pro and Pro+ provide unlimited outputs up to 8K; Pro adds a timeline, and Pro+ adds video export, permanent installation features, and an extra backup seat. Licenses are one-time or six-month rent-to-own, with update terms tied to each option. A free, unlimited-time demo enables features but adds a watermark and disables saving and loading.
