X-Ray Mode: Essential Feature for Projection Mapping Alignment

Master X-ray mode in projection mapping. Learn how this essential feature simplifies alignment and warping.

X-ray mode is one of the most useful features for projection mapping alignment. Master this feature to simplify warping and achieve precise alignment.

What is X-Ray Mode

See-Through View: X-ray mode makes projected content semi-transparent, allowing you to see the physical surface underneath.

Alignment Tool: Essential for aligning projected content with physical surface boundaries.

Visual Reference: Provides visual reference for accurate corner and edge alignment.

How It Works

Opacity Reduction: Reduces content opacity so physical surface remains visible.

Toggle Feature: Easy toggle on/off to switch between normal and X-ray views.

Real-Time Preview: See alignment in real-time as you adjust corners and edges.

Alignment Workflow

1. Enable X-Ray: Toggle X-ray mode on to see through content.

2. View Surface: See physical surface boundaries and features.

3. Adjust Corners: Adjust corner handles while viewing surface underneath.

4. Verify Alignment: Verify corners and edges align with physical boundaries.

5. Toggle Off: Toggle X-ray off to see final result.

Benefits

Precision: Achieve precise alignment by seeing exact surface boundaries.

Efficiency: Faster alignment by having visual reference always visible.

Accuracy: More accurate warping by seeing what you're aligning to.

Confidence: Confidence in alignment knowing exactly where content maps.

Best Practices

  • Use X-ray mode during initial alignment
  • Toggle on/off to verify alignment accuracy
  • Use for fine-tuning after initial alignment
  • Combine with corner warping for best results

X-ray mode transforms alignment from guesswork to precision. Master this feature to achieve professional-quality alignment in your projections.
