Projector Add-on for Blender

Simple projector creation and modification for Blender.

What this Add-on can do for you

• Easy creation and modification of physically-based projectors.
• Real-world projector settings like throw ratio, resolution and lens shift.
• Project test textures or your own content like images and videos.
• Preview the projections in Cycles render mode (Eevee will be supported when the needed functionality is implemented).
