So far, your channel seems to have the easiest, most consistently good info for people trying to understand this topic. Thanks for not making it sound like you've dumbed it down, and even make the mapping seem achievable for those without animation edition skills. And, I also could listen to you describe paint peeling off the walls. Very professional and nice voice adding greatly to your narration which seems unhurried and natural instead of scripted. And if it isn't scripted, even a larger kudos to you. Subscribing and thumbs ups!
one thing about 4K projectors.. im writing this in May of 2023 and finding bright (4000 lumens plus) 4K projectors that are short throw is still tough.. I have found a few.. mainly Lamp based though a couple laser exist... another option if brightness is an issue and or partially resolution. or wierd shape to your house you can use a video wall controller and run 2 projectors side by side.. this would give you 3840 x 1080 Native pixels with 2 projectors side by side... this assumes your house shape is such that you dont waste a bunch of your image.. (best for sprawling ranch homes and not 2 story).. I own the projector noted in this video a few times.. the Optoma GT1090HDR, it does a really nice job on my house that is about 45 feet wide and single story with a couple roof peaks.. the image on this projector tends to be thrown Upward so the slight downward slope in my front yard makes it a perfect choice.. as well as the 0.5 throw ratio.. I have plenty of room to keep the box well into my yard away from getting kicked by people on the sidewalk.. I also find this projector really nice for using other times of the year than my holiday displays.. it works really well for work presentations even with the office lights on, and for displaying the first few warm night college football games on my garage door..being a laser unit I dont worry about the intense cold weather causing the lamp to crack upon power up.. it didnt seem to have any issues and doesnt make the inside of its enclosure too hot.. I also have a 4K lamp based 4000 lumen projector but I havent tried it outside yet.. that will be very soon
Hi Christopher. Thanks for sharing all that great info. Glad you are enjoying your GT1090HDR and you offer some good tips for those struggling to track down a short throw laser option 👍
The answer to "which projector should I buy" will change as time goes on but hopefully these principles will stay evergreen and help people decide for themselves
Thanks for your videos and content. Seems like lots of folks are recommending projectors by BenQ or Optoma. I'm not opposed to either, but in reviewing specs, it seems like Epson has a couple contenders - L200SW and L210SF. They have a shorter ratio .48 and .45. Is there a reason that these aren't in the running as good options for outdoor mapping?
Epson is a reputable brand so if those models have good brightness specs and high enough resolution there's no reason they wouldn't be viable options. I think the house mapping community is a bit of an echo chamber so a few models bubble to the top as favourites and then those recommendations get bounced around. Good for you for throwing some alternatives into the mix!
So many questions! First of all, I've been absorbing all you've been putting out in these videos and your website as I can. I'm thinking of dipping my toe into this for an indoor project. Our living room is two stories tall which provides a lot of canvas. Do you think it would be possible to mix a projector and a TV for mapping? Meaning, instead of 2 projectors, have one projector and one TV output. Wondering if you've seen this done. Second question - how best can we support you? Are your Amazon links affiliated so you can get something if we buy from them? (I just looked and you do! Well done!)
That’s in interesting question. Yes I think that could work although I’ve only used a tv as a display in mirror display mode. Worth a quick test I reckon
I have a wide home and will need to purchase a second projector. My question is, how do I get both projectors to show the same video and not have the second projector overlapping the video if that makes sense
Multi-projector set ups are definitely more challenging. I would recommend you pick a natural seam on the physical house, e.g. where two walls join, and design discrete content for each section. That way you shouldn't have overlapping video.
10,000 lumens is suuuper bright. But it always depends on your unique scenario (competing light, colour and texture of the projection surface etc) But 10k lumens is a lot more than what most house mappers are using so I'd feel optimistic
I'd say the quickest way is to follow this th-cam.com/video/bSRmma36MgU/w-d-xo.html and then send the outlines to a designer who can sell you a pre-made show
As for whether it can be done this year, you will probably find the pre-made show companies are fully-booked or winding down for the year, but you might get lucky
I know this is past time but if you want to do this for 2023, digital pressworks can turn around your requests pretty quickly if you want to use pre-made songs / content
Hi - sorry for the delayed reply. I recommend some kit on this page www.lumabox.com/house-mapping/kit/ But really it depends on your budget and getting the best for what you can afford

Thank you. This is my project next year!
Woo. Fun!
Very informative! I got a mogo pro. Superb design, high definition display, solid speaker output with built-in battery and mini size for portability.
Interesting. Thanks!
Again, really useful clear information. Thank you
The answer to "which projector should I buy" will change as time goes on but hopefully these principles will stay evergreen and help people decide for themselves
that's a lot of helpfull info ....... thanks a lot
No problem. Hope it helped!
New subsciber to your channel
Very informative! and will definatly be using all your videos to help me get into projection mapping
AWESOME 🤩

Can you make any videos on setting up more then one projector . I love your videos
Yes that's something I can try to do in the future
Thanks for your videos so powerful
Hope they are helpful 🙂

That’s in interesting question. Yes I think that could work although I’ve only used a tv as a display in mirror display mode. Worth a quick test I reckon
Do you still recommend the 1090HDRx, or would the GT2100HDR or ZH450ST be a better choice now since they are newer?
Yes they would also be great choices. The discontinued models are now difficult to get hold of so these models will be taking over from them
I have a wide home and will need to purchase a second projector. My question is, how do I get both projectors to show the same video and not have the second projector overlapping the video if that makes sense

@@LumaBox or edge blend and work on resolume
So which projector would you suggest if I have a one story brown house and no trees in the yard?
Suitable projectors here www.lumabox.com/house-projection-mapping-kit/
Would a 10000 lumen projector work. Cause I bought an Epson EB-10005UNL on eBay
10,000 lumens is suuuper bright. But it always depends on your unique scenario (competing light, colour and texture of the projection surface etc) But 10k lumens is a lot more than what most house mappers are using so I'd feel optimistic
What do I write on Amazon to see the name of this device or where can I buy it from?
Try "short throw projector" or something like "Optoma GT1080HDR" if you're looking for a specific model
@@LumaBox GT1090HDR is the laser one.. I tested both and the 1090 is far superior to the 1080
What. is the ANSI lumens range I should look for?
I say in the video th-cam.com/video/m4uFbq8VyNA/w-d-xo.html. No upper limit - depends on budget
Hi I need to get this done in my house for my daughter if any way that can it done this year?

So what projector and laptop do you recommend to start up?
Hi - sorry for the delayed reply. I recommend some kit on this page www.lumabox.com/house-mapping/kit/
But really it depends on your budget and getting the best for what you can afford
Can I use this for gaming?
Yes, I think so. I know refresh rate and lag is a big thing for gaming projectors so I would do a bit of research into that
Hit all of my questions!
Super!
