TedCharlesBrown Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hello, Was just playing with the 3D projection mapping tool. I see that sometimes when I map it to an object, the actual projector gets lost in 3D space and I am unable to find it. Is there a way to "gather" the projectors? or have a list of what projectors I have, so that I can edit them via the list? Since I am already asking a question, I might as well ask another... How can I be certain that when I import a 3DS file, that it is placed at a Z of 0. In my tests I found that my content, and my 3D object were aligned in the X and Y axis, but not the Z. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted October 9, 2017 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 The list is there: Stage > View Stage List.... Here you can select all displays by name. One tip: First define 5 calibration points and align those to the real world, then add the 6th point. Nothing will move before the 6th point is defined. The positioning of a 3D object depends of the internal 0 in model space. It can be influenced on the general tab of the 3D Model Cue (Anchor Position within Model). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackboyd Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I've had the lost projector happen as well. It's frustrating. You can typically get it by going to the 'Top' or 'Left' views. For positioning, double-click the 3d object in the timeline and place it at 0,0,0 using the 'Initial Stage Position' fields.

Piternjfk Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Derek. What are the benefits of calibrating the projector directly compared to pointing the meter to the screen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
