<![CDATA[3D mesh actor?]]>Hi Folks

I'm projecting onto a parabolic church dome and thought I'd try the 3D mesh projector. The Izzy manual say go to Paul Bourke's site for mesh mapper. I was hoping for something a little simpler... sort of a mesh grid that can be push and pulled to make a rectangle fit this sloping ceiling. VPT has a rudimentary mesh and of course mad mapper, but I'm a isadora kinda guy and was hoping for some advice on doing this. I think people have utilized photoshop for a template perhaps...
Thanks,
John

Mark showed it to me before osc gained the stream setup window. I never succeeded bu now Paul Bourke moved to Quartz composer (I just learnt that) It is definitely worth a shot. I'll play around that next week. http://paulbourke.net/dome/warppatch/

As for the mesh mapper, the site is a little hard to navigate, but he does provide a number of standard meshes, that may work for you.
