Mapping Matter

Snapshots / PDF Layouts

Save a Snapshot from your Scene

Adjust your Perspective in the Viewport.

TOP MENU > Viewport > Render Viewport

This will save a high resolution .PNG Image of your current Viewport Perspective.

Create a PDF Layout (and a Projectors’ List)

Go to Scene Objects, in the PDF layout section.

Select a Layout Template, or create a new Template.

You’ll have your own Template Library. You can Share any template, or use one from Shared With Me.

Go to its Properties panel.

By default, the Illustration Image will be taken from the Perspective POV. You can also select a Camera’s POV in the Viewport 1 pov section.

Click on Print layout.

Click on Print projectors list.

This will include information about all your Projectors in the Scene (Specs & in-Scene adjustments).

Export All Projectors Data (.CSV file)

TOP MENU > File > Export All Visible Projectors Data - CSV

This creates a .CSV file that you can transpose into all advanced professional media servers which support a 3D environment.

Tip

Here’s how the Mapping Matter integration works in Disguise.

Export 3D meshes

You can export All Visible (or only Selected) 3D meshes in a single file.

Warning

If you want your Projectors’ Beams to be included in your export, first make sure Show All Projector Beams is enabled in the Viewport Settings panel.
