Missing basic tutorial

[decadenza]

Hi!
I appreciate your code. But I am having some difficulties on make it work. How do I project a custom image on a basic Blender plane?

Could you provide a quick first-steps tutorial?

Thanks

Sorry @decadenza,
somehow I missed your question. Yes there should be a getting started tutorial. I'll move it up on my todo list!

Quick Tutorial for you:

1. Install the Addon (descibed on the README page LINK and switch to Cycles as a render Engine.
2. Create a Projector:
   
3. Select Custom Texture from the dropdown:
   
4. Select the Image/Video texture.
   
5. The Projection is only visible in Rendered-Mode:

Thanks for your work. This could help others.

Hello, for me this works when I connect the "Don't Touch node's" color field connected to "Emission node's" color field, otherwise the image does not display.
Bug or feature?

@szat you followed the my steps and the images didn't show up? If yes, what version of blender and the add-on are you using? I just check and I couldn't reproduce it.
As a side node for next time: Please open a new issue. The original author asked for a tutorial and for a bug fix.

Hi,
I am still struggling as to where to find the Projector options like throw ratio etc.? It's not under object properties nor light or camera properties....

Ok got it - in Blender you have to click a small arrow on the edge of the menu so the Tools menu appear....should be in the manual as well.

@trackme518 Thanks for your feedback! The Blender user interface has changed over the years (when I first created the plugin, it was easier to find the projector settings :) )

@trackme518 thank you so much !

As i'm new to blender I struggled so much to find this tiny arrow in blender 3.1+
