I set it up to shoot the scene, a little bit wider, to capture the full output of the projector. – 1/15s shutter speed (it has to be lower that 1/60, your projector’s refresh rate) #MADMAPPER FULL FULL# These settings were the best for my scene, yours might differ a bit.Īccording to my tests, white background is not ideal because it reflects too much light. Under-exposed pictures are better, you get less artifacts. Ambient light is bad, it troubles the calculations. Once plugged, MadMapper shows a preview from your DSLR: It all happened in one click (which is good !)… Then started the Spacial Scanner function. I clicked “Capture”, which had the effect of starting the automated procedure. Since the whole process is automated (remember ? just one click …), What the program does is projecting a bunch of white patterns, aka Structured Lighting. I took the opportunity to make myself a cocktail, while waiting for the final result to be processed. MadMapper also loads it automatically as a background in the preview output: Then I saved the picture somewhere on my drive. Note the little artifacts on the resulting picture, due to the poor conditions of this tutorial, and to the reflective nature of the surfaces. I rotoscoped the interesting parts of the dwarf, and made a new layer for each part, filled with white: Next step was to load the resulting picture in Photoshop and do some selection. Note that I rotated the whole canvas, for an extended lasso/magic wand pleasure. If you do so don’t forget to revert back to the original orientation at the end. Then, launched Modul8, as placed each file in the Media bin: PNG is good because it keeps transparency, aka alpha.įor the super lazy visualist, there’s a script in Photoshop to export all the layers as a separate file automatically (menu/file/script/export layers as file) I saved each of the layers as a separate PNG file.
