This is AMAZING! I especially like how you made the house "wiggle"... I have used After Effects before, but this is a whole new level and I can't wait to map out my Halloween show!

Please make more videos on this subject! So far I've got After Effects up and running with my projector for my first time ever. Got ok making masks and getting my video content in. It takes time but you've made it possible to teach me new software and new light show techniques!

very cool. Necessary info for three of my projects which need AR, hologrrams, projectors, and AI algorithms, and of course, 3d designer software. As an ex artist, your use of light source to play with the effect is interesting

Nice idea to use the after effects raytracer for the 3D lighting effects. Do you need to convert your masks to shapelayers to make the extrusions work? The 3d performance can be improved a lot by using the elements3d plugin for after effects.

Having a little trouble with the Video Preview option. I followed all your steps to enable Video Preview and it worked, however only a minute later it stoped working out of no where. Now it only shows my MacOS wallpaper. So basically, After Affects and my projector wont talk to each other. Anyone know how I can fix this?
@vernabarnes384 2 жыл бұрын
I am a beginner at AE and am following along. I started masking my areas as you were masking the house...the start...the 3 windows...then you cut off to mask the whole house and when you came back you had a master house and what looks like one layer with several masks. Can you please explain how you did that? TIA.

Hi.. Can you suggest me which type of projector will be good for projecting on car. 1. Short throw 2. Normal throw or 3 Ultra short throw Also if you can if you can tell me why you suggest particular type of projector it will be very helpful! Any projector brand you can suggest that will be appreciated as well! Anyway I have learned so much from your tutorial that I made money by learning through it. You are a good mentor and helping hand. Thank you so much for your efforts and time.

This video was posted in 2018. Divinci Resolve's version of after effects (fusion) came out in 2017, and has made improvements since then to compete. Would you consider after effects the better tool still?

you have specific software made to do this kind of mapping projects, I would recommend MadMapper that can control multiple projectors and dmx output.

I notice that before you speed up the video you are creating one mask per layer. Then after you map the whole house you have 1 layer with all the masks in it, then copy that layer as needed. Is there a specific strategy for this?

@@stevedublin6592 hope it works out for both of us. I am using two projectors on the from of my house since I have a couple large oak trees in the yard there was just no angle a single projector could cover the whole front. I just finished sitting in my yard drawing out the masks a couple of hours ago. Now trying to figure out how he has all the masks in a single folder as they step is skipped in the video.

His house is white brick. What if your house is red brick or a slightly dark red brick? Do you need to hang white sheets or something to have clear projection?
@theonk3361 4 жыл бұрын
Your projection will be tinted. say, if the wall is pure red, projecting colors like blue, green will result in dull color. That's why projections screen are mostly white/ light grey to get "accurate" projections.
