Re: D3 Softimage - better phrased

2014-01-23 Thread Johan Forsgren
Wow! Didn't expect my name to be dropped in the mailing list.  Cool :D

Paul: You basically have it right.  Our d3 scenes was supplied to us by
event organizer, so I can't really contribute any insights into how those
are generated.  It seemed like it basically was a matter of correctly
matching up the scene, place cameras where the lights should be and project
a map.

If your doing the editing as well you have two options, depending on your
project you can either edit the whole thing inside d3 or you can render out
render maps , do your editing externally and just slap it on inside the
program.
If you can stomach the output resolutions I'd say go with option no 2.  The
d3 program is from what I gathered from my colleagues not that pleasant to
work with.

But yeah.  Lots of back and fourth.

 Hi Paul,
 Had some experience with D3, lots of back and forth between soft and D3
 for getting the projections to line up correctly. Also I had to render out
 4k sequences
 for projection. Maybe Johan Forsgren on the list can share some info. I
 started a thread on the list
 last  year d3 technologies content.
 All the best with the project.

 I suppose the first question is - has anyone on the list ever done
 anything at all with D3 Technologies?  You've probably seen their stuff on
 YouTube where they project stuff on buildings and make it look like the
 building is made of Tetris blocks, etc.

 I'm doing a project with them and although it seems fairly
 straight-forward, I really want to cover my bases before I get too deep.

 It looks like it's essentially a matter of taking a 3D model of whatever
 D3 is projecting on  creating an animated RenderMap that they take and
 re-project on the physical version of the model.

 If nobody else has done it, I'll at least try to take notes  share them
 when I'm done.

 Thanks!

D3 Softimage?

2014-01-21 Thread Paul Griswold
Has anyone on the list ever output a project from Softimage for use in D3 
Studio?

It seems fairly straightforward, but I'd love pointers from anyone who's 
already done it before.


Thanks,


Paul
