Easily flick between the type of masks.Send in a black and white mask and it will block out areas you don’t want. Because this is a Mask you can mask objects.NOTE: Check in isadora Stage preferences that your mouse is visible on stage output otherwise you won’t see it. So yes, you literally move your mouse onto the output screen. Not only this you can do it on the stage output… meaning you can map directly onto objects whilst looking at it. The red circles that pop up when you turn Edit on allows you to click and drag the corner to where you want them.It’s just amazing! it works and makes life easier.This has built in facilities for rectangular and oval masks and it also accepts a user Image input for any black and white image mask.” “This actors offers click-and-drag cornerpinning functionality for masking video. The Cornerpin Mask user actor is in my eyes one of the best tools ever! Matthew has created a topic just for support for the plugins on the Isadora Forum so please ask and discuss them HERE
#ROBOTSTUDIO 5.09 PRO#
Some of you knew this was coming! Pro user Mathew Haber has created a bunch of user actors that make mapping a lot easier. You are best renaming the actor so you can see what’s what such as “Top Right Window” or “DJ Booth – Left Side”.
Using Shift helps but depending on what you are mapping it can be a bit tedious.
Has all the normal features of a the standard Projector actor.The Z translate (default -2.5) moves the image back and forth in 3D (3 dimensional) space.You can pick each corner of the image/video and move it in an X and Y position.HINT: Hold SHIFT when clicking and dragging values for smaller increments and fine tuning! It’s really great for mapping and has enough features to explore new mapping skills but won’t overpower you with scary numbers or names. Won’t do complex mapping (isn’t designed for mapping).Ideal for beginners and not too complex.Helps you understand and learn about perspective and basic 3D perception.Great for projecting on very basic shapes.HINT: Hold SHIFT when clicking and dragging values for smaller increments and fine tuning!
#ROBOTSTUDIO 5.09 MOD#
In particular look at the perspective, aspect mod and zoom. *SOMETIMES* the basic projector can be used.
Here are some basic actor that you should be taking a look at… Granted it could be better but with a few 3rd part Quartz plugins 99% of things can be done easily. Isadora has had features that have allowed basic to fairly complex mapping for quite some time. Obviously you don’t have to use Isadora but one thing Isadora has that none of the other softwares has in the Interactive angle motion tracking via Eyes and Eyes++ combined with the easy work flow and ever growing community.Ĭan Isadora do projection mapping already? Basically anything that a light source (a projector) can hit! It allows artists to project onto buildings, cars, sculptures and custom built sets or similar. Mapping has been around for quite some time but my opinion is that it is the art of cutting up images and video to line up with complex shapes that are not the usual method for of display pictures and/or video. It is not an complete walk through or advanced post (you are best asking on the Isadora forum for advanced topics) but hopefully this will shed some light for new users, or those new to the idea of mapping. This post is to help people understand and get started with Projection Mapping in Isadora.
