3D video projection mapping on cubes | DIY big effect with only 1 projector

[@SHIVA5051]

its amazing and seriously would love a tutorial on this one.

Hi Shiva! Thanks for that! It has been quite a while since I checked my KZbin channel, sorry for that! But you're right, good idea! I could start making some tutorial videos! This one was made quick and dirty, but effective, using Photoshop and After Effects, just drawing live in the projected image.

Thanks! It has been quite a while (a year!!) since I checked my KZbin channel! But yes it would be good idea to start making some tutorials on 3D video mapping! This one was made quick and dirty (but effective) using Photoshop and After Effects, just drawing live in the projected image. But I can share some more advanced techniques using Cinema 4D too!

Can you give me your project after effect. THanks you so much

This video and your explanation in the comments have been awesome! So helpful. Do you mind me asking what projector you used? And whether you think project specs or sophistication are a major factor in making a simple projection map? Thanks!!

Thank you! I think I used an Acer P6200 for it, 5000 Ansi lumen. In fact it doesn’t make a big difference what projector you use, as long as it gives enough light (ansi lumens) for the area you want to cover and that it contrasts the environmental light. A practical thing to keep in mind is the lens factor (picture width x lens factor = projection distance). You want to cover the whole object, so the projector must hang somewhere ‘seeing’ and covering the whole object and all surfaces. A longer distance means an overall more equal focus area. But you will need more space for your setup. And check if the projector is suitable to be placed in a non-horizontal position without overheating. Oh and the higher the resolution of your projector, the more detail you’ll get of course.

@@Paul-lw6db wow that was a fast reply!! Cool, that makes a lot of sense. *Thank you so much* . Are you an instructor in this kind of stuff? You have a really good style; your explanations are really informative, succinct, and accessible. I've learned more in your few comments here than trolling through a ton of other videos on the subject. Best of all you give a solid foundation of info that people can build on and explore further; that's the key missing component with inferior teachers I find. Thanks again!

where did you get those cubes

[@Paul-lw6db]

Calvin Pauls they are just wooden columns we made ourselves of about 40/80/120 cm. But I also once cut and glued blocks made out of styrofoam panels
