Projection mapping _process and test


Augmented polygon from koosi_lab on Vimeo.

I did test projection mapping on real object.
It is not perfect yet, the mapping is slightly distorted and animation editing isn't done yet
but I will make it better with completed animation.

PROCESS >>

A. Drawing guide Map


Set up the projector and 3d object position.
Then clon the computer and projector screen.
Open Photoshop in fullscreen and draw guide lines along the edges of the object.


This is the result of guide drawing.


B. Mapping in Maya



Import guide map file in Maya camera view,
then synchronize the guide map and 3d object by fitting camera setting.
This step is quite tricky. I need to see the details of each edges whether they're fit well or not.
Finally, lock the camera position and export the texutres from the camera view.


C. Reproject

Reproject the exported texture.
Now it is almost done.




These are the result of applying textures on real object by projection.
It is not very perfect but alomost closed.
