Dome projection project with Resolume or....

[jaydeeshow]

Hi Guys,

I will have a dome projection project 25' radius in September.

I guess is not the simplest thing especially in Resolume. I might consider renting a Dataton with auto alignment, but before that, I'd like to know if anyone did it, and what steps should I take.

I'll use 5/6 projectors I guess.

Thank you for now.

Best,

J.

I actually read this into an old post. But no development, I'll dig into this.

Thank you for now.

I'm considering at the moment doing projection on a sphere, which likely has enough similarities to a dome to be relevant. I can work out the first 359°, but so far I don't know if I'm able to do the blend on the outside edge in resolume. Any joy with your dome yet?

When you said 359°, you mean you don’t know if you can wrap the whole thing around, right?

I just don't know how to have the composition wrap around. Starting from the centre of the image at 0°, heading right and left as ±179° I can do the necessary blends, but when I get to the edge of the composition and want to wrap back to the other end I'm not sure how. Though whilst typing this I am wondering about using a couple of different input slices on the end projectors, that might have some mileage, will go try that out when I have time

[willtom]

Right, I've thought of a way by using a virtual output, but can't find where the use a virtual output as an input slice. A quick search of the forums reveals this thread:

Is this a function I'm able to use in v6?

Take a look at this video which I hope will help with the wrap around.

Hi, If you are looking for a Windows 10 solution to map your Resolume project into a dome, check NestMap. It will do what you want and event do autocalibration with a webcam. Send your dome master video from Resolume to NestMap with Spout and Nestmap will do the real-time slicing and blending for you. Try the Beta version, it's free and it work great with many fisheye webcam and it's simple to use.
