Will My House Work? 2/10 House Projection Mapping for Beginners

[@jimmartin3660]

This is a great big help. I cannot wait to do this on my house. I look forward to watching the rest of the series of videos.

Excited for you! That pre-project buzz is 👌

[@gmcateer08]

You are hitting all the great newbie questions in these, thanks!

[@LumaBox]

Glad you think so. I thought it was good to set expectations at a realistic level nice and early in the process

[@jasonflickinger7134]

Nice content! Can you place your projector off angle a bit? I was hoping to project onto my garage and side fence and would need to point my projector about 15 degrees from perpendicular.

[@LumaBox]

Yes you can

[@happymaskedguy1943]

Can you project using separate projectors from inside windows, ie, ghosts, as well as projection map your house that also happens to hit those windows?

[@happymaskedguy1943]

For example, two projectors projecting ghosts onto windows from the inside, then a projector outside ‘mapping’ the house? Will the light from the outside projector interfere with the images being projected onto the windows from the inside? Sorry, I’m really struggling to succinctly articulate what I’m meaning 😰

[@LumaBox]

If you were to do that, you would have to make sure that your mapping outside did not shine any light on the windows. Otherwise the light falling on the window from inside and the light falling on the window from outside would compete and create a washed-out mess.

Did someone get an example of projection on red brick house?

[@LumaBox]

They're not clear-cut examples, but people have submitted their photos and there's a variety of house textures on display here ranging from light brick, darker brick to weatherboarding www.lumabox.com/luma-legends/. The most a projector can do is illuminate what's there, so white light cannot make red brick white, only fully illuminate the colour that's there. Having said that, our sense of perception is very subjective and things can 'read' as white even if they're not. I'd suggest experimenting if you can

I can't watch; the sound effects are too loud. Shame, because your work is good.

[@LumaBox]

Thank you for the feedback. It’s useful to get and something I’ll take on board going forward with the sound effects
