Crazy in a way that I develobed a technike with projectors I havn't seen any other use, and true, if you now think Im'e a jerk becaurse I want to wait untill the right moment to publish, it's allright. But I tried it before, pubblishing what I knew was an invention and then not just one, but a dusin claimed to have made the same discovery. -- I will publish one day when I can use the situation to protect my credit though.
But this is about prefered method and after I could use any projector for increadible transfere, I kind of lost interest. Guess we all know the arguments, how so many artists keep quiet about their projector, and realy it's silli, becaurse either your shaddow come in the way, or you can't determine where to continue becaurse the paint are the same color as that place in the image, --- as using light with a color "do" something to the colors it shine on. So when you allmost gone berserk about your own shaddow, that you can't see to where you have reached and what is missing, you turn on the light and what is it you see.....
I started in CAD so many years ago that the systems name was Dos 2.1 and AutoCAD was vertion 2.6 . There was no graphic interfase. either you could type a command and a number of parameters or start a program by typing it's Exe files name. So my prefered are the CAD way. Even tracing I import the bitmap and trace either with a digitizer (prefered) , or by mouse. That way I can scale the drawing, I can plot it or cut it, I can use layers for multilayer stencils and I can callibrate precise. Use all the different extras, linetypes, tricks and experience. Well in fact I still use AutoCAD14, that's plenty for me.
Projectors are great for Murals and a lot of other things, but why do everyone seem to use it the wrong way.
