HeavyM and Resolume

I considered our options and whether we would need to use VVVV or not. If we werent able to complete the main patch, it may be worth just using some simpler software to map out the projection.

I suggested using a combination of software i had previous experience with. I was happy to refamiliarize myself with it and projection map that way. Upon some discussion in another session, we were happy to get the VVVV projection patch working and to carry on using it. 

I then began to try a trial version of HeavyM as buying it was far too expensive. Unfortunately, i was unable to project a file texture but it may be worth looking into more to see if i could map the car and just use a colour selector to project the desired colour.

As stated before, i have used resolume professionally as a VJ at live events. It may take me a little while to readjust myself to it but i feel confident that i would be able to.

Projection Mapping Model Test

Myself and Toni decided to try and project the car ready for the main presenation. We had some issues with VVVV working and getting the projector to work. Once we switched computers in the base room, we were able to get the projector to work but not VVVV. From here, we just decided to try and line up the images to the car.   We moved the angle of the projector and the car to try and get the best results but really struggled without the use of projection mapping. This was only because we were unsure of how to do it in VVVV. This shows that part of the car was not being projected on despite lining the front of the image up. I decided to take all the equiptment home and redo the images, measuring my distance and angle from the car. Toni began to redo the animate GUI i did and make a cleaner, polished fully functional version.
