Setting Up Projections with EasyBlend Plugin

EasyBlend plugin allows you to render the UNIGINE-based application on multi-projector setups that are stored in the calibration files created via Scalable Display Manager and set up via EasyBlend SDK. The setup can have a complex shape, such as dome.

The supported version is Scalable 7.0.

The plugin supports the fullwindow mode (when the application window is rendered without decorations).

You can toggle the EasyBlend plugin via the easyblend console command:

• To enable, use:

  Source code

  easyblend 1

• To disable, use:

  Source code

  easyblend 0
