facts and challenges
OUR VERY FIRST ARCHITECTURAL MAPPING
After years working for live shows, our first architectural mapping was directly a high level challenge :
a complexe Cathedral mapping with 3D projection.
15 Graphics designers and animators were involved for 5 months on this new adventure.
FROM DRAWINGS to VR
Hundreds of drawings were created to study how to make the stones speak and make them tell their story.
SCAN 3D
3D Puppet model was animated in motion capture and classic hand animation.
2D ANIMATIC
3D Puppet model was animated in motion capture and classic hand animation.
3D ANIMATIC
With only 6 nights on site to finalise the show,
all the sequences had to be previewed and edited on the 3D model of the Cathedral.
PREVIZ IN VR
For our 1st mapping we added a new tool to our workflow, all the renderings were previewed and analysed in VR.
8K UV Map
The Final Rendering required a complex 2D “Puzzle” in 8K containing the 3D surfaces.
8 Projectors on 3 different projection towers where used to cover all the volumes.
The final and more exciting step was to discover how the stones reacted to our content and our story.
With only 5 hours of darkness per night within less than a week on site, the whole team adapted, corrected and improved each of the scenes to offer the best and respectful result possible for this majestic monument.
