Projection Mapping on Geometric Objects

I am recently passionate about new media art, and was wanting to play with projection mapping for a while. I find very interesting the potential of projection mapping as in art, on immersive spaces and on moving objects.

I used a geometric object made of paper to project on it.

In Fusion 360 I first designed an hexagon with the polygon function. I divided it into triangles to get the basic shape.

I the extruded one of the complete triangles, and used the little angle handle to make it like a pyramid.

I then used the circular pattern function to replicate the body 6 times.

I used the combine function to make a single object. I added a little extrude into the base to give it some height.

I exported the STL file.

I imported the file into Pepakura, that is a software that let's you unfold 3D models and generate files to fabricate.

I exported the dxf and lasercutted the model.I then proceed to fold and glue the model to make it 3D.

For software I used MadMapper.

First I used a projector on a dark room.

To create this geometry in a projection mapping, I had to create every triangle in MadMapper, and then I played with different effects on the software.

I wanted to experiment a little bit further with the projection mapping using the pipes and wall sockets to project on them also.
