Final part of our wacky adventures in the wonderful world of projection mapping. We look at replicating the thing we are projecting on to in 3D software.
Thanks for this! Been working at learning C4D to bring shows to life, and really had no clue where to begin for setting up an accurate 3d scene. This was exactly the push I needed for it to "click" for me. Cheers!

Really cool, thank you. Could you make it so that when the boxes are rotating, that the gap between them be dark? As if the top box was floating? Would you just add 3 boxes in sketchup instead of the 4?
@vjfit
10 жыл бұрын
Hia, cheers. Yep you could easily do that a few ways. Only having 3 boxes would do it, you could put a different texture on the back box, but what I think would look best, would be playing with lights/shadows or turning on ambient occlusion. This video is just really a quick demonstration of the technique, the possibilities are endless when it come to what shapes you make and what animations you apply to them.

Hi Jonnathan, I'm glad you found it useful. I'm planning on making another tutorial this week about projecting onto more irregular shapes, so keep an eye out for that. I'm going to stick to tuts just on the projection mapping side of things, but generally speaking, if you master After Effects and Cinema 4D you can make better clips and your final product will look better. www.videocopilot.net is great for AE, decent C4D tutorials are scattered all over the internet.

Hi Tom, I'm a bit lost as to how you are feeding the image the projector sees into Resolume, (obviously you're using a camera) with mad mapper you have the spatial scanner function, but this only works with Canon DSLR's, (I have a Nikon :S), so I guess my question is how are you positioning the camera accurately to see what the projector sees?
@vjfit
10 жыл бұрын
No Camera involved with this way. You build what the projector 'sees' with the slices inside of Resolume, then take a screen dump of the Advanced Screen Setup in Resolume. That gives you a still image on your clipboard that you can paste into Photoshop [or whatever]. Just try it out with a projector following all the steps and it should make sense.

Hi, I'm having problems lining up my CG stuff to the blocks I have set up. The projector I have is an Epson EX3210. It seems like the image bends on the edges. I've mapped it in resolume but, it's so not square like the CG. It's to far off for resolume to bend the image with it's fixed points. Any help would be awesome. This is what I'm trying to do but, with 2" blocks. kzitem.info/news/bejne/pJWhqKihb5qcqKw

Hi Tom. Thanks for such an amazing video series. I was able to make my first 3D mapping installation for NYE thanks to these. However I've run into a problem when working with Cinema 4D. My Resolume and projector resolutions are both 1080. When I take the screenshot and import it into Cinema 4D in this resolution, the resulting background image has been rescaled to a different aspect ratio so the shapes no longer match up. I've searched for a way to stop Cinema 4D from doing this but there doesn't appear to be one. Would I have to recreate my project in PAL resolution to stop this from happening or is there another way around it? Would much prefer to utilize the maximum resolution of my projector. Thanks Rory
@vjfit

+Rory Leeton Cheers bud, hope New Years Eve all went well for you! Yeh, the scaling can bit tricky sometimes... Have a read of the comments below V--v-v--V with dynasty006, sounds like it might be a similar problem to yours. Definitely try and keep everything as high rez as you can though, [I only used PAL because I didn't have a very good projector]. You could try, instead of putting the template image on a background in C4D, is make a plane that is 1920x1080 and drop the image on that, then just make a camera and line up the plane so it fills the screen perfectly. Let me know if any of that helps.

Giovanni Cervera Hi Giovanni. I tend to export as an image sequence from C4D because if it does crash out, you still keep some of the clip. I think you can export as a .mov [with the DXV codex for Resolume] but I normally do that from After Effect. I talk a little bit about render setting here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/y2lmlp1mrWN5eKA

No. Each slice can only have one layer assigned to it [or the full composition]. You could just double everything up and have 6 layer in total, mapping 2 layers to each surface. I think that would give you the same result.

Hi vjfit, thanks for the great tutorial. I have some issues doing the template for Photoshop. My computer resolution is: 1366x768 My projector resolution is: 1024x768 Resolume composition is: 1024x768 After I edit the output points, I make a screenshot in full screen, copy that into Photoshop and crop only the black area. The area where the visual is in I use as my template; however if I import some graphics based on that given area back to Resolume, the visual is much smaller and way off than the original. Do you have any idea? Cheers Chris

+dynasty006 Hey Chris. Are you resizing it in Photoshop? The screen shot you take from the Advanced Output of Resolume will just be a random size. Make a new comp in Photoshop and make sure that is 1024x768 then just stretch the black area to fill that. Does that help?

If I change the output straight to my projector (no advanced settings); my created images lines up correct! How strange is that? I´m going to make a video of that...
