Has anyone used TPT in projection mapping?

    I wonder if someone has used TPT for projection mapping (an example: https://vimeo.com/10780497).

    Could you share your experience?

    I suppose not, it's not a great system for such things.

    While I don't think anyone has done it with TPT, there was a system that use did a fluid simulation with a projection mapped sandbox

    I think it might be really cool. I thought of pointing projector for example on the doorway, drawing the countour of the door and making some kind of simple interaction, like water flowing around or fire burning at particular points.

     

    Currently the only isseus is the size of the TPT output screen. Can one change it or is it always fixed?

    You can easily change it in the source (if you can compile, of course).

    @savask Is that

    #define XRES    612
    #define YRES    384
    in defines.h ?


    I have actually tried it out. http://youtu.be/jVAj24SQLfw. I have outlined some of the wall elements with DMND and also build a little smiley-face waterfall und burned some stuff, added some TRON.

    I ran it in fullscreen mode on windows (since the Mac OS fullscreen is still broken).

     

    It would be nice to be able to run it fullscreen, but only on one of the two monitors connected. Ideally I would like to have to windows: a regular powder window and the one for the projector that does not have any UI elements and does not show the mouse pointer. The other great feature would be streaming the output to another computer on the network, that is connected to the projector.

    Yes, I meant XRES and YRES.

    Filt without heat simulation is great..

    (I used fire on it to melt the corner :D)
