2> Using the Model dropdown at the top of the properties window,

select the type of object you wish to place

3> Position and size the object using the properties window

4> Add further objects by repeating steps 1-3

5> Select all the objects by drawing a selection box over the

screen fixture buttons

6> Click the Model merge button to merge the objects. Ai will

prompt you for a filename to save the new model.

The Split button allows you to remove objects one at a time for

editing purposes.

• The Axis flip function allows you to swap two of the X-Y-Z axes

of the model. Right click to select which axes are to be

swapped, then left click to swap. You will be asked for a

filename to save the swapped model.

• To change the way the media is mapped onto the surface, use

the Canvas Editor, see section

3.4 on page 29.

3.2.3 Importing a 3D screen model

If you are projecting onto a 3D object such as a building or a set, or

you have a complex arrangement of LED on your stage, you can

import a 3D model of the surface[s]. Place a standard screen fixture

in the project, then drag and drop the model file onto the fixture.

• By default the image is drawn onto the surface according to the

specified UV coordinates in your model (it is essential that your

model defines UV coordinates). You may wish to later change

the way the media is mapped onto the surface. This can be

done using the Canvas Editor, see section

3.4 on page 29.

The system can accept models in the following formats:

• 3ds Max 3DS ( .3ds )

• Wavefront Object ( .obj )

• Collada DAE (.dae)

• Blender 3D ( .blend )

• LightWave ( .lwo )

• LightWave Scene ( .lws )

• Modo ( .lxo )

3.2.4 Adding a projector

Add one or more projectors to your project using the projector fixture

button. If you have multiple projectors, Ai will automatically split

media files, sending the correct parts of the image to each projector.

• Use the parameter panel to set the position of the projector to

match the real-life projection position. Ai will then resize and

warp the images to give the correct image on the screen. Or set

the lens ratio and lens shift parameters to match the real life
