"This book, the first in a series, dedicated to New Technologies for the Arts, is aimed at all digital arts students (PC and MAC users) who want to try video mapping for the first time. Thanks to a course reading that alternates theoretic concepts and practical exercises - explaining from how to take a photograph to how to request permission, from the layer masks to 2D and 3D animation, up to the final projection and warping - the reader will be able to project a video mapping event." -- Back cover.
