In their own words
HeavyM
HeavyM is projection mapping software for creating visual stage designs and installations. It combines drawing tools, 3D materials, visual effects, AI image and video generation, and a library of ready-made visuals. Its sound analysis can make effects pulse in time with music. For live video, it supports Syphon, Spout, and NDI streams, including workflows with programs such as OBS or Resolume. MIDI control is included in every edition; OSC and DMX are available in Pro and Pro+. Live supports one video output at up to 1920 × 1200, while Pro and Pro+ support unlimited outputs up to 8K. Pro adds a timeline; Pro+ adds video export, permanent installation features, and an extra backup seat. The no-time-limit demo unlocks all features but adds a watermark and prevents saving and loading. HeavyM runs on Windows 8, 10, or 11 (64-bit) and macOS 10.15 or later, including Apple Silicon Macs.
