1. DomeMod
– a simulating software for fulldome film –

2. Andreas Janthur
• studying Media-Informatics
• Postproduction-artist of awardwinning fulldome show
which is played around the world
• 2 years of experience in postproduction of fulldome film

4. Dimitar Ruszev
• Studies Communication Design
• Works at the fulldome in Potsdam
• Has programmed simulation software Dome-
Mod himself to preview distortion because his
university didn‘t wanted to buy existing ex-
pensive sofware

5. Optimization with DomeMod
– a software for simulation –
DomeMod …
• … Simulates distortion on a virtual
hemisphere
• … Calculates cross reflection
• … Gives an optically faithful preview
• … Is more reliable than using your
instincts

7. State of development
• DomeMod exists as Beta-Version
• Works on Winows and Mac
• Cross reflection has been researched
• Algorithm for implementation is being developed
• First tests in Cinema4D have been successful

8. DomeMod Consulting
– other fields of application and services –
Additional to distributing the software,
the company offers:
• Distribution of plug-ins for After Effects,
3D-Max, Cinema 4D and Navegar
DomeView
• Analysis of dome parameters as a service
• Consultation for future fulldome projects,
utilizing system optimization and cost
reduction

9. Fulldome theatres: market overview

10. Competition
• DomeView allows mapping content onto a
virtual dome
• But without simulating cross reflection
• Only available for Windows

11. Future of DomeMod
• We want to be on the market with a standalone programm by the end of
the year
• We want to offer plug-ins for the most common productions software in
fulldome film production, e.g. After Effects, Cinema4D, 3Ds Max
• Therefor we ar looking for investors and/or partners from the
entertainment and 3D industry to support us in marketing and
programming
