Camera mapping saved my life

[fantomaz]

Hi all

A customer of mine wanted to reactivate an old industrial hall.

In this hall steam trains were maintenanced for more than 50 years.

Since 30 years the hall was empty or used for logistic for other

companies. But now my customer reactivates this industrial building

for which the building was originaly built: maintenance of trains.

The main hall is 190m long and 110m wide...

For the big press event they wanted to have a stage in the middle of

the hall and a big screen, where they wanted to show some Powerpoints

and of course, my movie.

Everything was made in 2 1/2 weeks, so there was no time for big

storyboards or long testings.

Today was the event and everything was fine and everyone was happy.

Here it is:

Very cool! Looks like I need to do some experimenting with Camera Mapping (or at least going home and running my model railroad!!!).

Nice job.

Ola Fantomaz,

EXCELENT WORK!!!

Sometimes we add extra Cameras projecting maps (camera maps), in the extreme end of the first camera, to avoid real distorted images or blurred.

But you understood totally the main idea.. congrats.

Btw: The order of Cameras (which contain Camera Maps) in Project window, which one came first and so on, its like “layers” in photoshop, you need to have your Cmaps with Alpha to compose more and more complex Cmaps scenes.

Thanksss

Hi and thanks all!

First they wanted only one or two pictures in the hall with lots of

vehicles in the pictures, but when i showed them what is possible

with camera mapping they were totally astonished.

Too bad, that there was so little time for the job...

We discussed how to make better photos so that distortion was not

so high when you are in the endzone of the hall, but unfortunately

the momentary leaser of the hall had left tons of europalettes in

the hall, so it was not possible. I think the last quarter of the hall is

photoshoped by me, so that you cant see all the garbage there...

One thing i didnt finished, because of less time, was the crane at

the ceiling. He is still in good shape and working and with camera mapping

it looks very cool when he drives up and down the long hall with a

train on his hook. Maybe next time... :)

Looks very good for me,how many projection cams were used in the hall?I think the textures looks acceptable if u used a single projection hence my question?the ceiling looks great,that was a tile textures along the z axis but the side walls and the floor looks great, congrats camera mapping is one of the best feautures in eias.

Nice work for only a couple weeks. Did you model everything and cmap all in that time? Love the fly through the lighted trench down below the floor the most. Almost looked like something outta Star Wars. ha ha.
