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.
