Well, I tried my first full-house map this year, and failed miserably! Lol. But I learned a ton, and I'm sure I will have much better luck next year. Your tutorials are super helpful. I did everything with Apple Motion instead of Adobe, and I was pretty much able to follow along with your videos just with some translation into "Motion speak." (many features are the same, many are quite different) Photo Catch was definitely the easiest and quickest way to create a 3D model on my Mac (I only needed to take one video of the entire front of my house). I highly recommend checking it out for your Apple followers. I learned that darker-colored houses are much more difficult to work with than I had expected, and that short-throw projectors definitely have their own set of quirks to be aware of! All in all, it was quite an adventure. Thank you again for sharing your talents and skills with all of us would-be animators!
Oh no, sorry to hear you don't feel like you succeeded. Interesting to learn about Photo Catch. I haven't heard of that one but did you see I did a video on the best free photogrammetry apps? ua-cam.com/video/oyG_CnG8s6k/v-deo.html Because I agree with you, using a smartphone is a lot easier than Meshroom and even better if you can take a screen shot right inside the app and also dispense with Blender. Here's to all you've learned and your inevitable success next year 🥳
@@LumaBox Thanks a ton! Your tutorials really are fantastic and you are super kind for sharing them with the world. I'm going to try a different projector this year and see what happens. I fear my house is just too dark to ever make this work well. Thanks!
@@bradcas86 Totally check out all of LumaBox's tutorials. She is fantastic and super helpful. She will walk you through the entire process. First things first, get your phone out and start taking photographs of the outside of your house! Good luck!
@@LumaBox I've been following your tutorials for a year.. I took your advice and am learning After Effects.. would you take a look at this bus and tell me how you think they did they outline? Thanks!
I thought project mapping required several projectors. Can you please explain why you only budgeted one? Do you do consultations? I'd like to do a nature projection.. A sort of recharge room. Thanks!
No it absolutely doesn't have to be done with several projectors. Using one projector with good enough spec that is capable of covering your whole surface is much more manageable as a project than using multiple projectors. But of course it depends on the project. If you're projecting a room, hitting 360 surfaces is obviously not going to be possible with one projector. Unfortunately I don't do consultations sorry 😔
I don't know about that specific application but a short throw is probably a good place to start. I suggest a few here www.lumabox.com/house-projection-mapping-kit/
Any projector will work with my program (if you mean LumaMap?) but a projector that costs under $400 is unlikely to be bright enough to look good on a house, unless it's second-hand. You'd usually want to be looking for something from a reputable manufacturer with 3500+ lumens
perfect video , exactly the info i was looking for. thank you!
Great to hear!

Where did you start? I wanna get into this and already have a projector just don't know a starting point. 😩

Which projector is best for mini restorent table ?
I don't know about that specific application but a short throw is probably a good place to start. I suggest a few here www.lumabox.com/house-projection-mapping-kit/
Could you recommend a project worth up to 400 dollars that works with your program?

If you are mapping a house, do you not need a camera?
Depends which method you are using. Outline: no you don't necessary need a camera. Orthographic: yes you do.
