I would love to see input slice rotation in resolume
For example this was my new years gig, 3 video walls rotated 45 degrees.

This pic shows the input to the led processor on the tv, obviously its just a bunch of square slices, unrotated.

This map was done in mad mapper (I helped the vj and teched the system, didn't actually vj myself). The problem is that when the output is in its normal orientation but the video panels are rotated, to use output slicing rotation means either the slices overlap or the output sizing needs to be blown up a huge amount to avoid overlap. Input rotation would allow the content to be rotated while the output is in its normal orientation.
Let me know if this needs clarification, and Thanks Resolume team.

My possible ways to work with this Setup :

-Rotate layers
-Rotate Projector

Thanks for reply, but I don't think you read the whole post. LED video screens, not projectors, and there are also normally oriented screens so at that point I'd have to get crazy with layer routing or give up composition to all slices functionality.

Glad it's not just me... I though I was going mad and just couldnt see the option to rotate anywhere! Hopefully it hits a future release.

Why not rotate and scale the comp/layers? No matter what you do you're going to lose about 50% of the output anyways.

I want to be able to slice up bits of the overall composition and use them on rotated screens.

My example, one large central projection surface, showing the "middle third" of my composition, outer areas of composition are then sliced and diced and sent to various other projectors and plasmas to extend the effect around the venue. With the current set up I'm limited to 90 degree rotational jumps set on my plasmas and projectors.

It's a safe bet that input slice rotation will be in Resolume 5.

and when will be 5?
