How does projective texturing work in Photoshop?

Projective texturing simply put is just projecting a 2D texture onto a 3D scene from a specific view point. It works in a similar fashion to the way we use a camera view point to render a 3D scene onto the 2D back buffer. We first create a viewing frustum from the view point from where we want to project the texture from.

How to determine the point of texture projection?

To determine the point in the image texture that would be projected onto any particular point on the surface we need to be able to measure how far the ray travels in specific directions – in the Y direction of the image plane, in the X direction of the image plane, and also the distance travelled perpendicular to the image plane.

How to project an image onto a surface?

You can project an image from a point onto a surface using Vector Maths. Start with two reference points – one for the source of the projection (L) and another for the centre of the plane (O).

How do you project a texture on wood?

Make sure that it is in the position that a projector (it there was one there) could project through it. Paint the rectangle the color/type of wood that you want your project to be in. Right click on the rectangle. Go to Texture >> Edit Texture Image. Move the rectangle around. Note the four pins.

How can I project a texture onto a 3D object?

You can use the UVProject and the Project3D nodes to project texture images onto your 3D objects. This way, you can add detail, surface texture, or color to your geometry, making the geometry more realistic and interesting. The UVProject node changes the uv values of the vertices whereas the Project3D node is a material shader.

How to add same texture to multiple objects?

Apply texture to one of the cubes, then select all the cubes and the textured cube as last, then use Ctrl + L shortcut and select Object Data from the menu. For your particular situation where you have exactly the same object, I will recommend copying the object data. Doing so will copy any materials, and UV maps to all the cubes.

How does a projected texture work in SketchUp?

In SketchUp, projected textures are images applied to faces as though a slide projector is projecting the image onto your model. Projected textures enable you to apply a texture over a curved surface.
