Utility node
Projection
A projection-mapping and warping node for driving real projectors — 4-corner perspective warping or a subdivided mesh- grid warp, with built-in alignment test patterns for lining up a physical projector.
What it does
Projection is a utility node: it routes signals in and out of Infinite or sets up the canvas. It takes picture in and gives picture out.
Try it
Use the Grid test pattern to line up a projector on an odd-shaped surface, then switch to real content once corners are pinned.
