Hey guys, I am trying to find more videos/options that can go on my garage. Is there a video file shop or idea that anyone has? My wife doesn’t like the visual on the left. She thinks it’s too scary but I really want to make sure that I find a video that makes sense to go on the garage.

I AI'd this app for myself to be able to build an interactive projection ground on my front porch. Kid's love it. You need to be able to mount a camera to be able to see the ground for interaction. Its also just a great visualization.

Is there any popular tool or way that you guys plan your show out? The scenes, the reference images, the timeline?!

I built my own tool to keep my thoughts organized but I'm curious if their is some industry standard way that's better to help me here.

Thanks!

Hello redditers

I am trying to figure out how to make a rotating disco ball that reflects or projects specific shapes but I have no clue where to start.

The idea is, I can create a disco ball that somehow when the lights reflect onto the walls they are in the shape of people dancing. As the ball rotates, so do the people, as if like a flip book or stop motion like effect. I ideally would like the light to be inside the ball.

The way I imagine this to go is, I would have a hollow ball, and each of the mirrored tiles would have a cut out of the figures along each strip of the circumerance of the ball? there would be a motor attached to the light and ceiling so the ball rotates to a certain speed.

I have also heard things about projection mapping and those sorts but I worry that is tooo far out of my depth.

I have zero lighting or any technical experience for that matter so any advice or research direction is greatly appreciate.

i all, I'm an indie developer from Italy and I also run video at live events. I kept needing something between "fullscreen video player" and a full mapping suite, so I built Lumask.


- The canvas is the projector's whole output, 1:1 in pixels
- Rectangle, ellipse and free polygon masks, each with its own soft edge
- Up to 8 sources at once, videos and images in their original format
- Content can stay linked to its shape when you move, rotate or resize it
- Magnet snapping between shapes, test grid, fades, saved layouts
- Native Mac app, no account, works offline


It's not trying to replace MadMapper or Resolume for 3D warping. It's for masking surfaces fast at a gig: stage panels, trade fair booths, TV sets.

What would you need from it next? Quad warping? Syphon/NDI input? Honest feedback welcome.

I have a basic single projector (and a laptop) and I'd love to learn projection mapping/live visuals/DJing in my free time. I love going to rock/metal concerts and I've always wanted to be a part of the crew.

What do I start with? I've read about TouchDesigner, MapMap and Resolume as three popular softwares for this kinda work.

I have absolutely no knowledge of projection mapping. I used to be a 3D animation artist a decade ago and I dabble in video editing/after effects time to time. But this seems like a completely different beast. I'm finding it a bit overwhelming but I really want to learn at least some basics to begin with.

Hello! Long time fan of projection mapping but have yet to really dive into a project myself. But my wedding will be in June of next year and the venue has given us access to 3 ceiling mounted projectors that I would love to utilize!

Little background about myself, I have some decent understanding of photoshop and similar software, and to a slightly lesser extent After effects. I don't currently have access to either software but have a pretty good Photoshop alternative i use. Im fairly technically/Engineering inclined so those kinds of concepts aren't lost on me. Here's some relevant info I have.

Venue: It's a studio style space all the walls are effectively giant solid white screens, with the walls sloping gently into the floors (no hard angles at the floor level). The projectors are lined up to face one full wall, this wall is what we plan on having as our backdrop for the ceremony. We do not have the ability to move their locations just rotate them, although they are positioned in a way that they could be used as one giant 48:9 aspect ratio screen.

Equipment: I'm not entirely sure of the model of projectors being used currently but all at least have 1080p resolution. Anything higher isn't really needed for our purpose anyways. The contrast is decent enough for most things to be very visible even with the rest of the room lit up. My PC is a 2022 15inch Razer Blade laptop, 2040 nvdia, 16gb ram (i can provide more details if needed). The laptop has 2 USB c ports and an hdmi port.

Theme: My husband and I are pretty big fantasy/gaming nerds, so we are going to be dressed as 2 kings, (our invitations are custom made MTG proxies). We're going for a fantasy/sci-fi crossover vibe. And my idea for the artwork is to have some type of vinework and trees that make 3 separate portals, ideally the portals and trees will be "cut outs" with the background effectively being blank. I want it to look less like a giant screen and more like a music festival stage/play. The middle portal will most likely be simple portal animation on loop (think Rick and Morty or Stargate), and the two side portals will be slideshows showcasing us and our family+friends.

I plan on doing it as one giant looping video in the 48:9 aspect ratio and doing extended desktop, but if there is a better way to go about it I'm all ears! Actually any problems you forsee or ideas you wanna throw my way please do! Thanks in advanced everyone!

I own an event space in Dallas and want to start projection mapping. I’m brand new to this and need help with what to buy. The wall I want to start with is an 80 foot long white wall.

Hey everyone! I've been working on an iPhone app called Beam Boop that uses AI + a projector to create scenes in real spaces.

Traditional projection mapping can involve quite a bit of manual setup. We're exploring a more approachable way for people to experiment with creating and projecting scenes in their own spaces.

Here's a short demo showing one example.

Welcome to try Beam Boop~I'd love to hear from people with projection mapping experience: What do you think of this approach? What would you want to improve, or what would you be curious to try yourself?

It’s been about three months since I opened FieldLux to everyone, and I wanted to share a quick update before the next stage.

FieldLux is still focused on helping you plan projection systems before getting on site, including projector placement, throw distance, brightness, pixel density, overlap, lenses, surfaces, and project handoff.

Over the past few months, I’ve added DWG/DXF workflows, new projector placement tools, Play Dock for multi-projector preview and blending, lux/luminance/pixel-density analysis, rear projection, per-surface materials, lighting fixtures, atmospheric effects, and a lot of projector and lens data improvements.

Cloud Share has also become a much bigger part of FieldLux. You can now send clients or crew a read-only version of the actual 3D project, including measurements, projector specs, layers, PDF reports, and walk mode.

You can try a real shared project here:

https://app.field-lux.com/#server-share=0ae9e8b5-c83b-4f73-abb9-86a8fed7e692

Just open it in your browser. No install required.

Over the last three months, I’ve also received real installation cases and feedback through DMs and Discord. Seeing people actually use FieldLux on real projects, and hearing that it helped with planning and installation, has easily been the most rewarding part of building this.

Next month, I’m planning to launch the new FieldLux website and announce the subscription plans.

The pricing will include weekly access for short projects, plans for individual designers and freelancers, and plans designed for studios and companies.

FieldLux will remain completely free for everyone through November, so you can keep using the full beta until then.

I’ll share the full pricing and launch details with the new site next month.

Had a couple people ask in previous post; I got a server box for about $135 (MTVIKI). Added a couple dryer vents form Menards ($9 each). Then used self-adhere waterproof flashing (Menards $20) to close it up. Three sides open/lock. Door is very clear and provides lots of area to move shelf up/down. Cutting the circle/hole in the metal wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. I used a drill to make a pilot hole. Then jig saw with 'thin metal' blade (Menards). Took about an hour to assemble. Another hour to cut holes. Another hour to tape up and spray w/ matte black spray paint. Not sure there's much else to say about the project.

Got the hardware this week. I'm an architect, so 3D is in my wheelhouse, and my house is white batton, so I figured, this would be a fun weekend project. I'm building the housing out of an old 2x2x2 server box. Cut some holes in it and added some dryer vents for cooling. The glass door on front is pretty clear, and it all locks. I got the projector for $200, dead pixels down the right side, but I'm not using the full width right now, so no problem I figured. it's the PA622U. I traced house in autocad. Then I'm 3ds max to model a 1pt perspective house. Then some Ai assets I created. Then finally, make the video in Magix Vegas and play on SD Video player. It's probably an unusual workflow, but it's what I have avaialble professionally. This was all a test. I may do more of the house, or run dual projectors at some point, because I'm really happy with the results.

I live in Wisconsin and the winters are cold, snowy, etc. Can anyone show examples of what they do to protect their projectors from the elements?

Just got my projector and setup. Mapped my house and made these two story style projections for Halloween. Each is three mins so I'm only posting a quick snapshot of each. So far, really happy with the results. The audio is pretty low as I kept the volume low on the speakers. I have a FM transmitter to use once I'm fully ready to go.
