Interface

Installation Introduction:

Fusion: Copy the folder ProjectionHelper_v* to C:\Users\YourUsers\AppData\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\Fusion\Scripts\Comp

Blender: Copy the folder ProjectionHelper_v* to C:\Users\YourUsers\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.82\scripts\addons

Feature Introduction

Introduction:

Transfer data between Fusion, Blender, and Krita with real-time display.

Fusion→ Blender: Cameras, models, images;

Blender→ Fusion: Cameras and models;

Krita→ Fusion: Images.

Intruction:

This Script can list the cameras, models, and Catcher nodes into the tree.

1. Click the Refresh button to refresh the cameras, models, and Catchers in the project.
Click the Start Server button to enable the server(Fusion). This way, Server(Fusion) can be allowed to transfer data with Blender and Krita.
2. This section displays the connection status: Green represents linked; white represents disconnected or unconnected. If the server is disabled, the Clients will be disconnected.
3. Section 3, 4 displays the models and projection images corresponding to two projection cameras.
4. Section 5 is the menu bar.

5. The models that aren’t projected are listed in Unused Models, like the screenshot below.

6. A window will pop up in the upper right corner of the screen when the script is running, like the screenshot below.

7. Options→ Preferences → Network, used for connection settings of server and clients. The default IP of the Host is 127.0.0.1, and it’s not suggested to modify it. If connection is failed, please change the port number (between 1024-49151), and then save it by hitting Save Settings, and restart the script to retry. Meanwhile, Client—Blender and Krita needs to be restarted. Note: Please set Host and Port correctly, or the script can not work normally.

Note:

• If the connection with Blender and Krita is failed, please change the port number and retry. Open Options→ Preferences to change port number, then click Save Settings and restart the script, Blender and Krita.
• The nodes need to be activated in the Flow before exporting models and cameras.
• Be sure to activate just one Catcher node before using Link Catchers.
• Be sure the server (Fusion) has been started before enabling Client (Blender/Krita).
