This is a demo of projection mapping with VDMX & Quartz Composer inspired by deepvisual's tutorial of doing it in modul8 (uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2bRfdn9lNO8).

VDMX unfortunately doesn't have this feature built-in, but fortunately has beautiful integration with Quartz Composer - allowing me to build a quad warper in QC using a GLSL vertex shader, which should be super fast.

Also, around the 4:30 mark you'll see me masking the video on the box in the back. This is also using a custom Quartz Composition which allows 4 point mask creation. Usage is almost identical to the QuadWarper, but instead of warping the image it just applies a mask, or you can invert the mask and it cuts a chunk out. You could do the same by creating new layers, grouping, using as a layer mask etc. but its a a bit more hassle I think. Using the QuadMask is a lot quicker and you can put multiple QuadMasks on the same layer to draw more complex masks.

    this is great! i haven't tested it for speed, but it's sure more convenient than layer masking!
    could a feather edges be implemented?

    Yea feather edges would be quite useful. I actually started creating an 'alpha blur' as an independent qcfx. I was using vade's super fast blurs and it worked quite well, but has dependancy on an external plugin which could be complicated for distribution. I'll speak to vade to see if he can do a simple core image filter version... cos that would be ace :P

    great!
    would it be possible to warp the projection in 3rd dimension as well? like wrapping it around a cylinder for example?

    this is gold!

    if used with one projector projecting on a stage, wouldnt it be a problem for the different views of the crowd?

    Hey memo, and everyone interested in this technique.
    last year i developed a project (using after effects) which seems to be using the same principles. I used animation in a 3d space to give the illusion of really nice light boxes. check it out:http://vimeo.com/3971315

    Hi , memo i have seen some of your stuff in CDM , great !

    Altough Proyection Maping is great, I think its such a tedious way to do it the way its done in VDMX.

    The best way would be to just grab with the mouse each of the 4 points of the rectangle and just move it with the mouse to the desired position.

    I wonder the who was the programer who though, "oh why dont we make it more time wasting and we make some sliders for the x and y axis of the rectangle so that it is more slow to get it done"

    Anyway thanx for posting this ! thanx for all your info sharing ;D
