Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hi I am new here, has anyone done Video Projection Mapping using TVpaint ?

I never heard the expression; what is it for?

Thanks Sven.

There is no tutorials about video mapping.

I used Cinema 4D to projection map. It works great with TVP.

TVP opens right from the Cinema 4D interface.

I can't find an adequate example to link to. Sorry.

Can you post some tutorials on how you did ?

Do you use cinema 4D?

not much .. but only the basic

I have scanned the Cinema 4D Projection Man Tutorial. Here are the first 3 pages of 5 total. Follow the instructions, and replace the word Photoshop with TVPaint.

Here are the last two pages of the tutorial.

For those not aware of Projection Mapping, it allows you to project an image onto 3D geometry. By geometry, I mean 3D shapes inside a 3D animation program like Cinema 4D.

I created the shapes in Cinema 4D. The program then connected with TV Paint. The shapes appeared in TV Paint, and I drew the squares and dots over them.
I saved my TV Paint scribbles as a .PNG and I closed TV Paint.
Cinema 4D took the .PNG artwork and "projected" it onto the cubes.
Then I created the swooping camera move.

Because I love crane shots so much, and Hitchcock style camera movement, I plan to use this feature a lot.

You'll notice there is a little slippage of the TV Paint image... there are limits to projection mapping, and I am learning them.

Here's a similar concept using Blender -- you take any bitmapped image and project it into 3D space onto objects, kind of a "hyper multiplane camera".

Right, it is a kind of "hyper multiplane camera." I plan to use the technique to save time.

Of course, one can always paint textures in TV paint and apply it to 3D geometry. I use TVP for that purpose too.

But my favorite thing to do with TVP is still 2D animation.

Thank you all, for your support, By Video Projection mapping what i really mean is, a process where you project video and animations on a buildings and 3D surface, Being an animation + painting package I wonder if TVP can do it easily. have a look
