Resolume Forum

Didn't want to say spherical because I don't want to project above viewer's heads. Tubular would be more accurate but their is a slight curve upward. Regardless, I'm wondering if Arena can morph the grid enough for good results. Will be using three projectors each casting 120 degrees from the center of a dome that has the top removed. Can I just render a large movie and slice up sections for each projector using Arena? Thanks! ~Shawn

Resolume Arena cannot do this yet, but you should be able to get acceptable results with IRmapio - http://irworkshop.com/products/mapio

Curious to hear what Arena is missing for this work?

@goto10, yes I thought Arena should be able to work. I was successful when projecting onto a white umbrella but haven't tried on a 360 degree round wall. My question was do I need to run video through some post production morphing effect using an editing program or will Arena be able to do that well enough for me? I could even take it a step further and use a 3D application to render exact modelling of our dome (at least for a morphing reference). Arena's capability to slice, morph and edge blending should be able to do this seemingly simple task.

I guess I just need to get out there and mess with it. There are some half-shell stages around I could play with for now. Thanks!

I tried to do a dome with Arena, and I could not get the compound curve, to edge blend.

the compound curve was not playing nice with Arena, but with IRmapio's quad radial preset, it was super easy.!
