related to the question of shadow modeling, how can we create an anamorphosis of an object (an anamorphic projection), this is important in several fields (optical illusion, arts, advertising,....) of course using CAD software such as Autocad or Solidworks.
- First of all, it is a question of recovering the developed surface, in this case of a curved shape (see attached *.sldprt file). For this first step , the function, "surface to flatten", allows you to make a first approach. However, here the surface obtained presents an anomaly at the lower ends ?! - Do you have a solution to move on to the next step, which consists of adapting a set document (here in a jpeg file) on this surface developed flat (obtained in step 1) and creating this anamorphosis to obtain a set document that best fits the 3D object.
Here, we do not want to obtain a virtual realistic rendering but a decorative document that adapts to the real object.
