The bottleneck

The most creative art form has the most repetitive setup.

Many projection mapping projects start by rebuilding your design, shape by shape, inside Resolume's Advanced Output. SlicerVJ automates that repetitive step.

Without SlicerVJ

Manual slicing

  • Draw every slice by hand
  • Rebuild each shape from your design
  • Time-consuming, repetitive, error-prone

With SlicerVJ

Import and go

  • Import your SVG
  • Automatic conversion of every shape
  • Ready inside Resolume - still fully editable

Workflow

From design to live output in three steps.

SlicerVJ sits between your design tool and Resolume Arena - a professional bridge from vector artwork to Advanced Output.

STEP 01

Import your SVG

Load the SVG artwork of your stage, set piece or architecture. SlicerVJ reads the vector shapes in the file.

STEP 02

Auto-convert to slices

Each supported vector element is converted into a Resolume slice, preserving the structure of your original design as a starting point.

STEP 03

Export the preset

Generate an Advanced Output preset, open it in Resolume Arena, then fine-tune vertices and perspective directly on site.

Features

Automation without losing control.

SlicerVJ builds the structure. You keep the creative decisions.

[svg]

Native SVG import

Bring artwork from any vector tool. Paths, polygons, and shapes are all recognized automatically.

[auto]

Automatic shape analysis

Every vector element in your file is detected and translated into an individual slice - no manual tracing.

[preset]

Advanced Output presets

Exports a preset fully compatible with Resolume Arena's Advanced Output, ready to load in seconds.

[edit]

Fully editable slices

Nothing is locked. Adjust vertices, correct perspective, and adapt the mapping to the real-world surface as usual.

[scale]

Built for complex projects

Useful for simple setups and larger projection mapping projects. The more slices your design has, the more repetitive work you avoid.

[vj]

Made by a working VJ

Created by VJ Surreal to solve a real problem faced on real stages - not a feature imagined in an office.

Supported software

Design anywhere. Map everywhere.

SlicerVJ works with SVG files exported from common vector design tools.

Why SlicerVJ exists.

SlicerVJ wasn't created inside a software company.

It was created between shows, deadlines, rehearsals and projection mapping projects.

Built by a working VJ, it solves one of the most repetitive tasks in Resolume Arena, allowing artists to focus on creativity instead of manual setup.

Who it's for

If you build slices in Resolume, this is for you.

VJs Projection mapping artists Immersive experience designers Live visuals studios Event production companies Stage design teams Digital scenography teams

Projection Mapping isn't about drawing slices. It's about creating unforgettable visual experiences.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which platforms does SlicerVJ support?

SlicerVJ is available for macOS and Windows. The Mac version requires macOS 14 Sonoma or newer and supports Intel and Apple Silicon. The Windows version supports 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11.

How many computers can I activate?

Each license can be activated on up to 2 computers total across macOS and Windows. You can use two Macs, two Windows PCs, or one of each. If you replace a computer or need your activation count reset, contact support.

Does SlicerVJ require an internet connection?

An internet connection is required for the first license activation. After activation, SlicerVJ can be used offline.

Why might my computer show a security warning?

SlicerVJ is distributed directly by VJ Surreal rather than through the Mac App Store or Microsoft Store. On macOS, if Gatekeeper blocks the first launch, right-click the app, choose Open, and confirm. On Windows, follow the options shown by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen only after confirming that you downloaded SlicerVJ from the official purchase link.

Do I need Resolume Arena?

Yes. SlicerVJ generates presets for Resolume Arena's Advanced Output, so you need Arena (which includes Advanced Output) to use the generated presets.

Can I still edit the slices after importing?

Absolutely. Every slice remains fully editable inside Resolume. You can adjust vertices, correct perspective, and adapt the mapping to the real environment - SlicerVJ just gives you a head start with all the structure in place.

Which design tools can I use to create the SVG?

Any tool that exports SVG: Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, CorelDRAW, and more.

Is this a subscription?

No. SlicerVJ is a one-time purchase. Your license includes Version 1.x and free updates during the 1.x cycle.

How is payment handled?

Checkout is processed securely by Gumroad. You get instant access to the download after purchase, along with your license key and receipt.

What is your refund policy?

Refund requests are accepted within 14 days after purchase. See the full Refund Policy for details.

Ready when you are

Never manually create slices again.

SlicerVJ automates the most repetitive part of projection mapping, so artists can focus on creativity instead of setup.
