Project a 3-D traingle at a square grid onto a scrunched-up paper

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on projecting a 3-D triangle onto a scrunched-up paper-like surface without using holography. Participants suggest utilizing ray tracing software, specifically Caligari TrueSpace, for effective 3-D projection on irregular surfaces. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity regarding the desired outcome, whether a holographic effect or a simpler 2-D projection. Key questions include the geometry of the source and the specific characteristics of the intended surface.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of 3-D projection techniques
  • Familiarity with ray tracing software, specifically Caligari TrueSpace
  • Basic knowledge of geometric principles related to projection
  • Concepts of 2-D versus 3-D imaging
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced features of Caligari TrueSpace for 3-D projection
  • Explore techniques for creating 2-D projections from 3-D images
  • Investigate the principles of ray tracing in computer graphics
  • Learn about the geometry of irregular surfaces in projection contexts
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for graphic designers, 3-D artists, and anyone interested in projection techniques on irregular surfaces, particularly those exploring ray tracing methodologies.

How do I project a 3-D traingle at a square grid onto a scrunched-up paper like surface?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
To do this without holography is likely impossible(not sure though)
However, there is another way!

If you wish to experiment with 3-D projection on irregular sufaces this can be done, extremely well, using ray tracing programs such as Caligari TrueSpace.
 
It's not clear what you're looking for. You need to give more detail. Do you want to end up with a 3-D image like a hologram (expensive) or do you just want a 2-D projection of a 3-D image (camera lucida?)? What is the geometry of your source (What/where is it)? What exactly is the "scrunched-up paper like surface" intended to be? Maybe if you clarify these things someone can answer.
