Qlab 4 Cake Projection Mapping Beginner’s Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- This tutorial will tackle 3d projection mapping a wedding cake using Qlab 4 software. I’ll talk about the challenges I faced using this software for this task and two possible solutions. The first involves preparing the video files in Adobe After Effects (or similar video editing software). The other method requires outputting to Syphon into another mapping application, like MadMapper (only for Mac).

i guess I am pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch new movies online?
@Ian Colin Flixportal :P
@Clay Remy Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it!!
@Ian Colin happy to help =)
another option would be to create 1 surface labeled "Cake" and you can add as many projectors as your system can handle. For instance, i am working on a show right now that i am running 8 separate projectors or TV screens. for this cake, you are using 2 different projectors, so you could edge blend them together into 1 surface and make a mask that only shoots on the cake.You could do that in whatever software you wanted. Then you take the 1 video file "disco ball" and map it to the "cake" surface and you're done. You wouldn't have control of the each layer in this situation, but you didn't utilize individual layers in your example. Then you just have 1 video file, playing on 1 surface.
Assuming I've understood your idea, how are you going to map the corner points of each individual tier with your method? I do actually map each layer separately (at 17:10 ua-cam.com/video/1tx_zXyjUjk/v-deo.html). By doing this, all the mirrored tiles are neatly parallel to the edges of the cake. This wouldn't be the case if you just projected "disco ball" on the cake with no per-layer mapping.
frig... that's so much work to map. I hope future versions of Qlab work this out
Yep 👍 But in fairness, the software does so much more than projection mapping - it’s not its primary focus.
Wow ! Projection mapping monumentale sur mesure !! #PMMSM
Thanks!
This feels like exactly what i need. i'm used to working with isadora and need to use qlab for a show and it feels very unintuitive
Spout is a version of syphon that can be used on a PC
But looks like you can't get Spout out of QLab?
