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

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
