Project Creation
By now, we assume you have all the knowledge to quickly create the basic setup for a new show.
Create a new project folder with the proper hierarchy and copy the media kit into it.
Create a new show and import the media from the media kit.
Create your basic setup: V-Node, Render Surface, Output, etc.
Setting up the 3D Scene
We wish to project on a monument of 28m x 18m at its highest point.
We’ll implement the following setup in Kinetic Designer’s 3D scene and use the Study tools available to verify that the project is feasible.
Projector information
- Number of projectors : 2x rotated 90°
- Resolution : 1920×1080
- Lighting power : 20 000 lumens
- Distance from structure : 30 meters
- Projection tower size : 3m x 3m
- Projector height : 9 meters
Open the 3D Scenes and 3D Viewer panels.
Alternatively, you can switch the Layout to a default 3D setup in the top menu Layout > 3D.
In the 3D Scenes panel click the 
button and select Import.
Locate the Castle 3D.glb file and confirm.
In the Dialog box, set the Material to Unlit. The other options may be left as default.
In the 3D tab you can see there is in the 3D Scenes a Castle 3D model, two projectors, and two boxes representing the two projection towers.
You can check the size of the 3D Model, the projection distance/height, and the projection size by selecting it then looking at the Editor tab.
We check the lumens of each projector and adjust it to 30.000 lumens
You can verify as well the projection area of each projector by switching view to Projector then select Projector 1 or Projector 2.
We can see the bottom of our image can go up, so we shift up a bit the projectors.
To quickly access to these views we create two layout Presets:
- 1 with the a front Point Of View
- 1 which is a split view with the 2 projectors
Because we want to lock the front POV, we will create a camera by pressing on the keyboard the letter *C *:
