Miniature Mapping.

Auto-mapping software by www.projectionartworks.com

We’ve mapped full-size cars before for Jaguar Land Rover, Hyundai and Nissan, so when our 3D printer arrived the first thing we made was a miniature Land Rover to play with. We’ve produced video-mapping shows over 400m long, but at just 23cm our new toy was definitely the smallest projection canvas we’d ever used.

We mapped the car in a matter of minutes using our exclusive auto-mapping software, designed for pixel-perfect mapping without a digital 3D model. It works by automatically altering content to fit a set of points, which are manually configured using a specially designed interface. Exact mapping is essential to the 3D effects we use. Without it, the graphics cannot properly trick the eye: in this case, with spinning tyres and lighting effects to create the illusion of movement.
