Technical issues

The last few days I have been trying to create my next projection mapping experiment. I had an idea to create a short advert based on converse trainers. The idea comes from the fact that converse will let you design your own trainers on their website. I thought I could put a variety of design on a single trainer within a thirty second period as though it was an advert for tv. I had began to map out a few parts of the trainer and decided to check how this projected onto the trainer and to see how it matched up with sizes etc. The image produced did not match the real trainer, this has created a problem for me as the map doesn't fit correctly. I have realised that I must use projecting software to correct this issue and have now looked a a few versions.
Free demo versions such as vpt7 and mad mapper are the most accessible. Vpt7 threw up instant issues in that it wouldn't seem to upload any of my own videos. Madmapper took a little time to work out, I still cannot work out hoe to use multiple videos in the same shot. However this software could be used for the trainer projection as I can play around with the images and even warp them if need be. The main issue with Madmapper is that it is for Mac only, I have aMac at home but I don't have a cable which allows me to connect it directly to the projector. This is something I have now ordered and will continue with when it arrives.
The other week I went and spent a few hours with the team who are doing the projection mapping project for BMW as part of professional project. I wanted to see how they used the software Resolume and how this worked using two projectors. This was very interesting and the team were very helpful in showing me how they set up and in their discussions about creating the animations.
The image below show the problems with mapping the trainer, I am glad I checked at this point as it has allowed me to order the necessary parts required for me to continue.
