Project Progress - Clothing Graphics

Project Progress - Clothing Graphics

Here are some sample of clothing images that are used for projection mapping on mannequin






Project Progress - Editing with Software

Project Progress - Editing with Software

The next step is to create the contents for the projection by editing the video.

Some softwares that I used to create the basic montage include:

Adobe PhotoShop


- The software is used to edit the image and manipulate the photo
- I mostly used this for mannequins clothing
- By using the photo reference of my project stage, I made a template for my mannequins placement and made it in white color
- Then, for clothing effects, I made separate layers


Sony Vegas






- This software is for editing the montage purpose
- I also use this software for sound editing.

Project Progress - Setting Up The Area

Project Progress - Setting Up The Area and Testing

Upon starting up the project, I need to set up the area (in the studio) of where my mannequins will be placed.

The first set up was like this:





As seen in the pictures above, there are 3 panels and two mannequins. I need to consider the distance between the mannequins and the wall panels.

After that, I made a small experiment and test of the projector:










By using a simple program, MS Paint, I just made a simple calibration to see whether the graphics that projected to the mannequins were visible or not. The test result was great and it seems that the mannequins are able to show the colors very clearly, if the lights in the surrounding are turned off.
