Calibration workflow for identical projects running in different locations
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2023 2:45 pm
Hi!
Our client has a madMapper project running in two different locations (countries). The project involves projecting many different movie files onto a 3D printed model, and the the only difference between the locations should be the calibration: one projector is (unfortunately) rotated 180 degrees compared to the other. The change in calibration was tricky and took considerable effort to get working properly when we set it up in the secondary location a while back. The project has a regular schedule for updates to be made, and up until now we've made do with making every madMapper change two times — once for each location. However this is quickly becoming unmanageable, with a lot of new content coming in.
Is there a way of making the changes once for one location and then transferring/copying only the 3D model calibration data from the other location? Or any similar workflow which doesn't involve manually importing all the new videos/setting up all the new cues twice? I'm thinking that the calibration should result in a single camera position/rotation which could potentially be copied and pasted, but I don't know how to access this transform in madMapper (or if it even works like that).
Happy for any info on this, even if it turns out it can't be done!
