3D Projection Mapping Tutorial with Photogrammetry and TouchDesigner

Learn how to master 3D projection mapping! This complete workflow covers everything you need, from photogrammetry to build a virtual model of your real-world object, to using TouchDesigner and CamSchnappr with the sweetspot method for perfect 3D mapping, fine adjusting with the Stoner Tool and creating content that seamlessly fits on your surface.

In general, I suggest projectors with minimum 3000+ lumens to begin. Outdoor projections need more brightness of course.
