My Little (first) Surface Mapping Project

vvvv beta general

Hi, i am new to vvvv and started today. I am really impressed how fast i could get started and finished what i wanted to make.

My project goals:

  • easy to use Surface Mapping Software

  • variable “Scenes”

  • control via midi (a midi sequencer or/and real time + midi clock sync)

  • possibility to “access” every of the surfaces with a

    • video / image
    • color
    • effects

  • Library of “Content” (videos etc.)

  • Rewrite the display to real 3d, guess it would make it easier for making new scenes

How far did i get so far:

  • done a subpatch for the Projection surface (Grid + texture + Homography + Outline for “debugging”)
  • made this cool rope animation tutorial and implemented it
  • Remade Projection to “real 3d”

Picture so far in big:

If you have any suggestions or help for me, I am happy about everything that makes this project not too hard (will be crazy to make the videos for the projection later ^^)

The image is too low res to see anything, anyway you should really dig into the Projector node and real 3D objects instead of 2D homography, it s much more fun!

thank you for your reply, after a couple of hours of sleep i found the edit button

scince i started yesterday with vvvv and had only some programming inn other languages, mainly php + js, i wanted to make get started fast.
The homography was a solution for this project I found very quick so I used it.

When I have a running version of all the things I want to implement, I will come back to the projection surfaces. I guess the 3d will make more complex scenes easier

So, made it “Real 3d” :D

Has anyone an idea how i can “make a stack” of textures, at the moment i give the subpatch the koordinates and sizes of 3 Planes to form a “cube” can i give it also 3 different textures?

Edit

Got it solved, made a spread of textures with “cons”
