ICE can display its canvas, or parts of its canvas, on additional windows.

At some point you will want to route the Canvas from Igloo Core Engine out of your computer, ideally to a really big screen. This can be achieved by configuring one or more Screen windows, and optionally Warping and Blending the output within those windows.

Screen Window Settings

Window Settings are configured in the ScreenWindowSettings.xml, typically found at

...

The Igloo Warper application can be used to generate Warp & Blending files which are applied to ICE’s Igloo Core Engine’s Output windows.

Note

Requires Warper version 1.20.x +

Within the Igloo Warper’s menu navigate to Config > High Performance Warping > ICE I C E > Export Warping file.

The export may take some time depending on the number of displays and their resolution. Once finished, the Warping files are saved to C:\ProgramData\Igloo Vision\IglooCoreEngine\warping

Edge Blend to Soften Aliasing

A small edge blend can be used counteract aliasing. Typically, you may see this on the top edge of the Warp after exporting for a cylindrical screen.

  • Increase the Top Width setting until the blend covers between 1-5 pixels

  • Increase the Top Global Gamma until you see a smooth transition to black

  • Repeat for all Projectors
