About Dynamic Mosaic

Dynamic Mosaic v4.0 is an extremely fast and versatile dynamic photo mosaic creator. It has the following possibilities:

  • Generate a basic picture mosaic from a predefined set of pictures, using the powerful and highly acclaimed Mosaizer Pro engine to determine the mosaic lay-out, and the replacement pictures (from photo booth, webcam or tethered camera)
  • Read pictures from a predefined source (hard disk), e.g.
    • from a photo booth or an external tethered camera picture shot
    • use a web cam to trigger new pictures to become part of the mosaic, timing and management fully embedded into the application
    • use the existing mosaic pictures and zoom in at regular intervals
  • Processes the new picture and integrates this picture into the existing mosaic
    • blend into the foreground
    • stay on the foreground
    • elegantly flying to the new position
    • waiting for a new tile to change
  • Dynamics: flying in and out, several movement ('flying') path options can be selected
  • Option to fly several tiles in one go, e.g. 2x2 or 3x3 tiles
  • Intermediate ('message') movies and picture stills can be shown (e.g. for displaying important information from the sponsors)
  • Smooth transitions between (message) videos and pictures
  • Recording of the animations on screen (as a movie)
  • Use of a so-called 'picture mask' to make mosaic shapes
    • With the use of masks the full mosaic picture can be live-rebuilt using each individual miniature picture into a completely new shape (of the black and white mask) with great dynamic effects
    • move each tile back to its original position
    • after completion the picture zoom in and out is resumed
  • Use of built-in and custom picture frames using the transparency of .PNG files
  • Effective housekeeping to assure balanced use of all pictures
    • 4 different languages are supported (UK, NL, D, F)
    • Projects to save and re-load favourite settings
    • An event scenario builder to easily create your personalized dynamics
    • Save the mosaic picture
  • The well-know user friendly interface with a one-click start to see the results and effects

Easy installation and quick start

After
 installation, you can start immediately. The installed package is fully functional, including a library of 1000 (small) pictures, without any additional action. The software runs on 32bit and on 64bit systems.

Stability and systems

No computer is the same. However, some systems may show unexpected error messages (e.g. ntdll.dll related). The application has been tested on Windows 7 and 8 systems both 32 and 64 bit, and on XP systems 32 bit. All systems were showing a very stable behaviour. One test ran for 11 consecutive hours without any issue (a clean 32bit Win7 installation, HP computer with i3 Intel CPU).

Vista and Windows 7-11 users: make sure you have administrator rights. You need admin rights to save and accept new pictures and store the preferred directories locations, and assure that the license file gets copied to the installer folder.

Apple (mac) OS-X users: the aplication runs in any windows emulator like Wine, Bootcamp and Parallels. More information on running windows application on a mac can be found here .

Thank you for using Dynamic Mosaic.
