Abstract:
Systems and methods for projecting planar and 3D images through water or liquid onto a surface include creating a 3D model of the body of liquid and surface and 3D models of creative elements to be used in scenes. Animating the 3D models of the creative elements, placing them inside the 3D model of the body of liquid. Lighting the animated creative elements, rendering planar animations of the modeled creative elements and, using projection and texturing software, virtually projecting the planar animations back onto the surface of the 3D model of the body of liquid from the same camera position in order to “bake in” a warped transformation of the digitally rendered planar animations. Digitally rendering a 3D animation of the warped, transformed planar animations, and playing or looping the digitally rendered 3D animation through the body of liquid on a digital video player or digital server.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n a) selecting a body of liquid for projecting images through, the body of liquid contained within a surface defining a resort swimming pool or a hotel swimming pool; b) gathering measurements of the body of liquid and the surface defining the resort swimming pool or the hotel swimming pool; c) creating a digital virtual 3D model of the body of liquid and the surface defining the resort swimming pool or the hotel swimming pool by loading the measurements into a memory of a digital computer, the computer including at least one processor programmed by computer software sufficient to create virtual 3D images of the body of liquid and the surface defining the resort swimming pool or the hotel swimming pool; d) creating digital virtual 3D models of creative elements to be used in one or more scenes using the at least one processor programmed by computer software sufficient to create the digital virtual 3D models of the creative elements; e) digitally animating the digital virtual 3D models of the creative elements using the at least one processor programmed by computer software sufficient to digitally animate the digital virtual 3D models of the creative elements; f) placing the digitally animated digital virtual 3D modeled creative elements inside the digital virtual 3D model of the body of liquid using the at least one processor programmed by computer software sufficient to place the digitally animated digital virtual 3D modeled creative elements inside the digital virtual 3D model of the body of liquid, using the digital virtual 3D model of the body of liquid and surface to virtually place the digitally animated digital virtual 3D modeled creative elements inside the digital virtual 3D model of the body of liquid and cast shadows onto the digital virtual 3D model of the surface defining the resort swimming pool or the hotel swimming pool; g) lighting the animated digital virtual 3D modeled creative elements using the at least one processor programmed with one or more virtual 3D lighting programs to create the cast shadows; h) creating digitally rendered planar animations of the lighted, animated digital virtual 3D modeled creative elements using the at least one processor programmed by digital rendering software; i) using the at least one processor programmed by digital projection software, virtually projecting the digitally rendered planar animations back onto the digital virtual 3D model of the surface defining the resort swimming pool or the hotel swimming pool of an empty digital virtual 3D model of the body of liquid from the same virtual camera position as in the previous step, thereby electronically baking forced perspective images of the digitally rendered planar animations onto the digital virtual 3D model of the surface defining the resort swimming pool or the hotel swimming pool; and j) using the at least one processor programmed by digital rendering software, digitally rendering a 3D animation of the electronically baked forced perspective images of the digitally rendered planar animations from a virtual position that is at the same angle and position as a planned angle and location of a digital physical projector to be installed at a site of the body of liquid.
