reod Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 thanks Mike. Some great points that are helpful. I had to find out most of this out the hard way myself over the past couple of weeks. My first big show with multiple 3d objects as the set was earlier this week. definitely struggled a bit with handling 3d objects, etc. Are their any limits on the Virtual Displays that can be applied to objects? What resolution of VD is too big? Also, what guidance do you have on Semi-auto calibration of projectors? especially on 3D objects? what are the limits or pre-requisites? besides using 6 points. Is there a way to do any of it manually? aside from entering the values numerically? perhaps a slider? some finer adjustments that can be made in the Projectors View mode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fahl Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Are their any limits on the Virtual Displays that can be applied to objects? What resolution of VD is too big? In terms of resolution, they use VRAM, which could become an issue if you use very large virtual displays. But most modern graphics cards have plenty of VRAM. Calculate the extra amount of VRAM, in bytes, needed for a virtual display by width*height*4. E.g., a 4k-by-4k virtual display would be 4096*4096*4=67108864 bytes, or approx 67 MB of VRAM. Virtual displays do add rendering overhead. They're essentially equivalent to using multiple outputs from a graphics card. So you want to keep the number of virtual displays as low as possible. For instance, if you're modelling an LED wall, don't use one virtual display per module. Combine "chunks" of modules into as few virtual displays as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member edgar pulido Posted January 4, 2018 Member Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi Everyone, I am projecting on a sphere with 3m diameter using 4 projectors on 4 sides. Can somebody share with me the earth.3ds and the uv map for it. I cannot find it on the website watchout cookbook. Apparently the old page was replaced with a new design and a list of videos where the sample files are not available anymore. It would be a great help for me having those files to start. Please share a link or you can send it to my email. edgar@slspro.net Thanks a lot, Edgar Pulido 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavidA Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi, Edgar!You should have received your files by now, and I will make the files available on the website during next week. Then quite a few more of the older cookbook texts and videos will be made available too. Best regards, David / Dataton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlhca Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hello. Are there any tutorials from later than the updated 6 Watchout upgrade? Wanted to relearn some of the earlier tutorials. Thanks, Michele 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
