Video projection study on a cylinder using 3D

Introduction

In this exercise we will see how to make a video projection study inside Kinetic Designer using its 3D tools.
To explore these tools we are going to implant video projectors to project inside a cylinder.

Here are the steps we will follow in this exercice :

• Prepare our new Project
• Import a 3D fbx model (or create your own cylinder with the given dimensions with prefab model)
• Add a video projector with its lumens and resolution specifications
• Organize the 3D environment for a better experience using view Presets
• Place the projector in the three dimensions
• Adjust its shift, zoom, orientation parameters
• Duplicate the projector with a Cloner modifier
• Apply a material with Render Surface content to the Cylinder
• Get and export the VP informations as its point of view, the pixel size, luminosity (lux)

What do we need for this project ?

• A media server Modulo Kinetic Designer
• or a Modulo Kinetic Designer 2D+3D licence
• Some skills in 3D are a plus, but not essential for this exercice
• Some bases in video projection
