Video projector

[crusen]

I am trying to setup a projector and screen with an object that will be between the screen and projector and I want to see if the projected image will hit the object. No projected light is showing up on the object though, and it should be at least 3' into the projector image.

What do we have to do to make a projected image hit other objects other than the screen?

Hi Crusen, welcome to the forum

The projector screen images are not actually projected.

One cool way to achieve this is:

Edit the screen image in the RB and change the Reflectivity from Glow to None or Backlit and the Color to a solid color.

Place a lighting instrument and focus on the screen

Set any Gobo texture for the lighting instrument.

Edit the Gobo texture in the RB and change the Color to Image>Your preferred Screen Image.

Render in Fast Renderworks or better.

If you're just looking to see if the object is in the projection cone, make sure "show projector cone" is checked and just analyse your drawing in wireframe.
