ACDC Vs Iron Man 2 – Architectural Projection Mapping on Rochester Castle

James Chiu — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:54:51 +0000

With all the hype and experiments on 3D object projection mapping, this is one of the best examples I’ve seen in a while…

“On the site of a thousand years of violent history, ACDC were pitted against Iron Man in a ground breaking architectural projection mapping project. The front facade of the Great Keep at Rochester Castle, was brought to life using the latest in 3D animation techniques. This onslaught of the senses, saw the castle confront it’s ultimate challenge. Warping, morphing, spewing and collapsing before the audiences eyes. Let there be rock!”
