Focusing tips , help needed

Post by fruitygreen »

Any one knows of a way to keep focus sharp and consistent, while mapping on objects of different angles.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

I guess he means, for instance, mapping different cubic objects in a stage. Objects are placed at a diferent place (depth), related to the projector.
So, if you set the focus for the front cubes, the ones in background would be out of focus.

And if he set the focus to the cubes in background...the cubes at the front will be out of focus.....
...so my method in such a case is to set the focus between front and back... But it think this is not that what you would like to read? ;)

..Or you use more projectors.

Not without breaking any fundamental laws of physics.

Thanks guys.

I was hoping for a technique or technology I never heard of that could do it.

Maybe a depth sensing pixel sharpener.

Thanks again.

PS: wish i was a programmer , i would invent it.

Use multiple projectors? One projector could do all the close range surfaces and another projector focused further back could do the others.

Or use a laser projector, they are always in focus.

That is a solution I can't afford yet.

Thanks
