Big disclaimer: There's virtually no way to put into text how to warp, arguably the best way to learn warping isn't reading, it's just playing about with it until you get it, or at least get comfortable with it
- Power the tablet
- Ensure the tablet is connected to the same network as the computer is on
- Open TouchOSC
- In the OSC settings, ensure the host field is set to the IP address as seen here
- Ensure the outgoing port is set to 9004 and the incoming port is set to 9003 (default settings)
- Open the warping tab:
- Using the buttons in the bottom right, ensure warping is on and blending is off. Turn on the info panel, test cards, control points using the 3 buttons labelled info, points and tcards
- Set the overlap. This is measured as a percentage and the "optimal" value will change based on structure and projector model. The easiest way to get it right is to measure the physical size of the overlap and mark that up as a percentage, and apply that here.
- Use the buttons on the row labelled Active Screen to switch between the grid you're currently manipulating, represented by the thick red outline on the info boxes (Screen 1 on image below)
- Use the outer push buttons to select a control point, the inner push buttons to nudge the points, and the buttons labelled small, medium and large to change the size of each nudge
- Line up the test cards from each projector on top of each other in the overlap area. Ensure the boxes are equally sized on both prohected images, the green vertical line being the most important aspect to line up.
- Once the green line is matched, select the handles to the left or right of the corner handles and push them up or down to match the top and bottom of the screen in the structure. Repeat for each corner
- Finely adjust each corner so the grids are aligned.
- Regularly save progress on the Load/Save tab located next to the warping tab
- Once warped, ensure blending is on using the blending button in the bottom right. Play some content and adjust the width and gamma until the image appears to be one seamless image
- Exit and restart the warper once complete
