I'm trying to do a snowfall effect on my house, but currently the video is just a big square and not mapped to the areas of the house. But if I were to use the spotlight effect like in the previous video it wouldn't show.

Can you give some tips or do a tutorial on doing this setup with MadMapper? i'm curious to see how you would approach it! Great job and great series. These are honestly the best house projection tutorials on the internet

@LumaBox 3 года назад

Adapting this workflow to MadMapper would be very easy. Take your animations made in tutorial 3, bring them in to MadMapper and set up meshes for each section of the house (the same sections identified in tutorial 4), mask out unnecessary bits (like in tutorial 4) and start mapping!

@stephen.rutherford Год назад

This is a great starting point. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I'm curious how you might do a multiple-projector setup that can wrap content around a corner or complex object. I live on a corner and would love to have things interacting from the front to the side.

@LumaBox Год назад

That’s totally possible with this method. If you’ve watched the second video in the series about making a guide, instead of exporting an image for just the front, you’d also do one for the side. Then you’d make outlines for the side surfaces too and arrange them next to the front surfaces. The aim is to make a set of outlines that are as if your projection surfaces were made of paper and you have unwrapped them and laid them out flat

@stephen.rutherford Год назад

@@LumaBox Yes! Since I wrote this comment, I've also seen your tutorials on using two projectors on the wedding cake which helps tremendously! I've had to do similar things with LED video boards, but the mapping was "built in" to the boards themselves so the setup isn't something I really had to deal with. I just made an After Effects template to fit the mapping that was already there :) Thanks so much for the reply!

@DanDoneIt 2 года назад

Thanks for this tutorial, It's great and really easy to follow! i may have missed this but one question I have is can you show us how to do the final set up with multiple projectors, I don't have enough space at the front of the house to span the full house with 1 projector :(

@LumaBox 2 года назад

You just go through the stages of tutorial 5 with the second projector. Good luck!

@Fnaf_World_The_First... 3 года назад

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! It is by far the best one on RU-vid. You mentioned using multiple projectors. How would that work?

@LumaBox 3 года назад

Well adding multiple displays would be very simple if you were using mapping software like MadMapper. With After Effects... that's not something I've done, but I'd imagine you'd use a display splitter like a DualHead2Go and then set that (double) display as your display output from After Effects. It would be treated as one output but it actually contains two projectors, thanks to the splitter. Does that make any sense?

@Fnaf_World_The_First... 3 года назад

@@LumaBox Yes. Thank you!!

@dgrusty 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for the videos Georgia. I've watched more times than I can count. A question though regarding content that you want to have span multiple sections that are at different distances from the projector. Do you replicate the content for each area (like the left and right side of the front of your house) and mask out the appropriate content? Or do you simply have the content span both areas at the same, causing a bit of a size difference between the 2 areas. Thanks again!

@LumaBox 9 месяцев назад

I compose the show across a large composition that contains my surfaces laid out side-by-side. The surfaces are the correct scale relative to one another in the composition so the scale of the content is also consistent when it moves from surface to surface. Note that I work orthographically (without perspective) so distance from the projector, for me, causes no issue of changing scale.

@zoeeleni7023 2 года назад

Hi Luma, thank you so much for these tutorials! I am using it for a fashion project for my senior thesis capstone. I was wondering, if I were to turn on the projector at a specific time, would I have to set up the video playing every time i turn it on, or would the setting just resume to what it was last set up as? I basically want to avoid the menu screen being projected and want to go straight to the video if that makes sense. Thank you so much!

@LumaBox 2 года назад

I think it would depend on your projector model. If you’re turning the projector on from and off state, I think it’s quite likely you would see some sort of branding or message when you turn the unit on. I think a better idea might be to keep the projector on and turn on the video signal when your are ready for the show to start

@jean-baptisteledore9699 2 года назад

Thank you very much for those tutorials ! I’m planning to do a big Christmas show this year and I need 2 beamers. I haven’t found out how to project from 2 different sources with your method. Would you mind giving me some tips ?

@LumaBox 2 года назад

You could go through the steps of this tutorial twice, once for each projector. Or you could use dedicated projection mapping software like MadMapper to handle the output of two projectors - see this other tutorial ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YVgUWpfaRNU.html

@afrancia31 3 года назад

Great tutorials!! If I wanted to use two projectors to get better detail across the front of my house, should I use after effects to create the content and then madmapper to map across both projectors? Or does after effects have the capability to map the video across two projectors?

@LumaBox 3 года назад

You *can* use AE to map with the two projectors but I think you're definitely on the right track if you're thinking about using MadMapper to handle the mapping - it will be much more straightforward

@MattPenner Год назад

Thanks for the incredible videos! The way you express your knowledge is not only extremely intuitive but you easily communicate complex topics in a very understandable way. I've been wanting to get into projection mapping for some time and I'm binging your videos. :) Quick question on how to set up for multiple projectors. The face of my house is fairly wide and my current projectors are too dim when moved back far enough to cover the entire house. I fortunately have two projectors. I would like to let each projector take one half of the house. What would your suggestion be to have a content somewhat seamlessly play across the house yet be rendered for each individual projector? I can handle the actual syncing and playing of the videos, I just am not quite sure how to set them up in After Effects so that the content is fairly well stitched together. I'm a little afraid if I do two different house images like you suggested in a comment down below for someone on a corner that it will be hard to align the content across the two different images. Is there a way I can lay the content out across the house much like in your tutorials, yet somehow export a section just for one projector or the other?

@LumaBox Год назад

Hi Matt. A good question as you start to think about more advanced mapping setups. To help me answer, can you first tell me if you've decided to go with the orthographic method (like I show in these tutorials) or have you outlined your house from a static point of view?

@LumaBox Год назад

P.s. sorry my response took a while!

@MattPenner Год назад

@@LumaBox No worries. Took me forever to respond to your question too! 😂 I am using the orthographic method like you showed. It looks much easier in the long run to have a single compilation of the front of my house while being able to somehow export multiple portions from the view of the projector at that location. And, of course, adjust if the projector moves between seasons.

@kevinbegley09 3 года назад

Thank you so much for creating this set of videos. I do have a question about the size of the house you are projecting on. I was I looking to get the BenQ HT2150ST as recommend on your site but wanted to know if it would cover my whole house. Can you tell me the total size you projected on to.

Also, if using dual projectors, will the home mapping need to be done with 1 or both projectors? Lastly, if using dual projectors, will both need to be placed exactly in order to get the perfect picture? Thanks for any help you can provide!

@vesuvian7 2 года назад

Thank you for these videos! They were inspiring! I don't think I would have attempted this without seeing them. I really enjoyed the house mapping/animation parts in videos 1-3, but I got lost starting in video 4 when you started grouping things into compositions. Specifically, I'm having difficulty getting the corner pin effect working in step 5... I'm not immediately sure where I went wrong. To simplify for now, I'm starting only with one region of my house (the garage), with only 2 mins of one simple free video downloaded from RU-vid... - I believe I exported it properly into a PNG sequence at the end of video 3... - I think I imported it right at the beginning of step 4. (in video 4 I didn't see you import it... it looks like you had done that "off camera" between ending video 3 and starting video 4.) - I didn't follow exactly what your reasoning was for combining layers/compositions the way you did... It looks like you were trying to crop extra video to save storage/render time and then apply corner pinning to multiple items instead of just one item. Can you provide additional documentation/description of what your intent was here? Thank you again!

@LumaBox 2 года назад

Hi Tim. I think you've pretty much grasped the reasoning. I'm making compositions for the 4 surfaces that need to be mapped separately: left house, left roof, right house, right roof. By trimming off everything that doesn't belong within those areas I'm preventing unwanted content going on the wrong surfaces and by putting them all inside a comp, I only have to apply the corner pin to that comp for it to affect everything inside.

@wbdharris Год назад

Wondering if you do any adjustments to the projector settings itself (such as keystone) - and if you do, is that performed on a flat surface first, or do you make those adjustments while it's on the building?

@LumaBox Год назад

No keystoning on the projector since that is done digitally in the mapping process

@KabutoSSS100 3 года назад

Thank you for this great tutorial, and this is super valuable and easy to understand. I have one question. Why did you use a media player and a projector separately? I imagined that some projectors have USB ports so you do not need to use a media player. I am a super beginner and just started to learn this topic so it might be a stupid question but it would be great if you share your knowledge. Thank you.

@LumaBox 3 года назад

I think that's true about being able to play from a USB or SD card (although my projector doesn't have this capability). The media player also gives you control over how the media plays back (looping, random shuffling etc) which might be needed for your show.

@dgosssigep 3 года назад

Aside from environmental situations such as where you have available to set up the projector, are there other advantages to using a short throw projector in these situations? I have seen that BenQ offers 1080p projectors with the same or higher lumen count that aren't short throw for $100-$200 less. What is your opinion on this? Thank you!

@LumaBox 3 года назад

Don't take this as gospel, but I think if you've got the space to use a standard lens projector and the unit is cheaper, then there's no reason why you wouldn't... I think there is a myth (?) that short throw projectors are 'brighter' www.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/98heci/are_short_throw_projectors_brighter/

@gmcateer08 3 года назад

These are amazing tutorials. I'm trying to connect all the dots still and while I think most of it makes sense...still a few questions. Do you have any tutorials that show using a 2nd projector with the various house pieces you have 3d rendered and created layers for? I'm assuming that the corner pinning helps adjust the angles of content to show correctly on the house. I think this resolves the issue I've had where some masks have to be rotated because of physical skewing. Thanks again...great stuff.

@LumaBox 3 года назад

I don't have any tutorials on that topic yet - but I'm sure I will in the future. Are you using After Effects for the mapping or another application? Either way, you're right - the corner pinning is used to adjust content for the skewing caused by projecting from an angle.

@gmcateer08 3 года назад

@@LumaBox Thank you. Yes, using AE. I think my challenge is determining where to break the house into planes for corner pinning. It's all basically at same plane except that with single projector as you move from the middle it skews slightly...but no clear point to put a break. It's more of a gradual thing....It's always improving...but challenging :-)

@LumaBox 3 года назад

I think I read over on Facebook that you're taking your projector in each night. Are you going to re-corner pin each time or try to match the projector position as much as possible?

@gmcateer08 3 года назад

@@LumaBox I've been just matching the position every time. I have an "alignment" clip that plays for about two minutes at the start and it works ok. I have about an hour of content playing and having to re-export that every time with new corner pinning would be a pain. BUT...if/when I get that configured, it will make a 2nd projector much easier to coordinate I believe.

@danielheinemann4356 3 года назад

is it possible to use the masks in Resolume and the animation is automaticly applayed to these? So you dont have to render the video on site which can take really long.

@LumaBox 3 года назад

Rather than map in After Effects, yes you could use a mapping application like Resolume, MadMapper etc.

@angelperaltamay5178 3 года назад

I have a question, I don't know if it's a silly one but I don't know anything about projectors, in my school we used to use projectors for our presentations and when the background of the slides was totally black you could see the color black, kind of like what you get with LCD screens compared to OLED screens that the color black is off. I see that in the video the dark parts are not seen or emit light, if I buy a projector to do this should the projector have a special feature or is it just a setting on the light that most projectors have?

@LumaBox 3 года назад

Often you can see light emitted by projectors in areas that are supposed to be black. My blacks are not in fact truly black but they are pretty good and hardly noticeable. The video helps with this because the shot is exposed to capture the details of the bright projections and crush the black or close-to-black areas down to levels the eye interprets as black. Using a good quality projector that is bright with a good contrast ratio will help with this issue.

@alexm.5510 3 года назад

Interested to know how you did the lighting and ooze out of the windows.

@LumaBox 3 года назад

That was done in 3D with Cinema 4D. It’s one of the harder effects to achieve because it ‘interacts’ so much with the geometry of the house

To be honest, if you're starting to get into using multiple projectors, your life would be made much easier to move over to a professional application for handling projection mapping specifically - something like MadMapper, Resolume, etc. There are a few ways you could approach using multiple projectors in AE. If you intend to play your video off a media player (like I do in the video) then the simplest way is to go through the process shown in tutorial 5/5 for one projector, and then go through it again for each additional projector.

@@LumaBox I know this is a very basic tutorial but it would be awesome to know to scale it up with multiple projectors new designs. Maybe make an “advanced method” where you would map something bigger and include more effects?

how would you adapt this to multiple projectors?

@LumaBox 3 года назад

If you wanted to still use After Effects, I imagine you would use a display splitter (like a DualHead2Go or similar) to make a double-wide display made up of both projector outputs, then select that as your output display in AE. But I should say I haven't done this myself.

I'm sorry it's hard for me to diagnose. You might get better answers from Adobe support if you tell them your system spec and the issue you're having

How can I get a hold of you for a larger scale project?

Going to have to try creating a .OBJ of a (still) human head via Meshroom file and then import into Madmapper and see how it works...

Awesome! Have fun!

Make an after effect tutorial where you make it look like the building is falling down

@LumaBox 3 года назад

I might do this in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.

Really good tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to create this. I've wanted to do something like this for a long time. Not only this but I also would like to gain more experience with After Effects.
