Wrap an image around a cylindrical object in HTML5 / JavaScript

Question

I want to wrap an image around a cylindrical object like mugs in a web app, like so

This will likely be a base image (e.g. a jpeg image of a mug) containin

Answer 1

Simple cylinder wrap with Canvas 2D

Very simple example using sin and cos to create the curved map. The images is cut into strips approx 1 pixel wide then rendered as half a squashed circle. As perspective is a linear effect related to distance I also add a small amount of perspective by scaling up in the y direction depending on sin(angle) (where angle = 0 on the left Math.PI / 2 at the forward center).

These two demos are animated just to show that it is not a slow process, but compared to webGL it is a snail. If you use such a method, don't make it realtime or you will chew up the batteries of mobile devices. Realtime 3D should be done with webGL

Basic wrap

var createImage=function(w,h){var i=document.createElement("canvas");i.width=w;i.height=h;i.ctx=i.getContext("2d");return i;}

var canvas = createImage(400,400);
var ctx = canvas.ctx;
document.body.appendChild(canvas)
ctx.clearRect(0,0,500,500)
var image = createImage(400,200);
image.ctx.font = "60px arial";
image.ctx.textAlign = "center";
image.ctx.fillStyle = "#7F5";
image.ctx.fillRect(0,0,image.width,image.height)
image.ctx.fillStyle = "white";
image.ctx.fillText("Wrap around",200,60)
image.ctx.fillText("Some images",200,140)


function draw(ang,tilt, perspective){
    var step = 1/(Math.max(image.width,400));
    for(var i = 0; i < 1; i += step){
        var a = i * Math.PI;
        var a1 = (i+ step*2) * Math.PI ;
        var ix = i * image.width*1.2;
        var iw = step * image.width*1.2;
        a += ang * Math.PI * 2;
        a1 += ang * Math.PI * 2;
        a = Math.PI -a;
        a1 = Math.PI -a1;
        var x = canvas.width * 0.5;
        var y = canvas.height * 0.1;
        
        var x1 = x + Math.cos(a1) * 110;
        var y1 = y + Math.sin(a) * tilt;
        x += Math.cos(a) * 110;
        y += Math.sin(a) * tilt;
        var s = Math.sin(a);
        var s1 = Math.sin(a1);
        if(s > 0 || s1 > 0){
            ctx.drawImage(image,ix,0,iw,image.height,x1,y- s * perspective*0.5,x-x1,200 + s * perspective)
        }
        
        
    }
}
var w = canvas.width;
var h = canvas.height;




// main update function
function update(timer){
    ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0); // reset transform
    ctx.globalAlpha = 1;           // reset alpha
    ctx.fillStyle = "black"
    ctx.fillRect(0,0,w,h);
    draw(timer / 2000, 40,30)
    requestAnimationFrame(update);
}
requestAnimationFrame(update);

Add lighting.

To extend it a little further you can add overlays to do lighting. I could not find a public domain image of a white cup so I used the same function to render the lighting (A few simple gradients) onto and image. Then for the final output I render the overlay as a backing image, then the text, then two passes again with the shading image, first darken with "multiply", then a soft highlight with "lighten"

var createImage=function(w,h){var i=document.createElement("canvas");i.width=w;i.height=h;i.ctx=i.getContext("2d");return i;}

var canvas = createImage(400,400);
var ctx = canvas.ctx;
document.body.appendChild(canvas)
ctx.clearRect(0,0,500,500)
var image = createImage(400,200);
image.ctx.font = "60px arial";
image.ctx.textAlign = "center";
image.ctx.fillStyle = "#999";
image.ctx.fillRect(0,10,image.width,image.height-20)
image.ctx.fillStyle = "white";
image.ctx.fillText("Wrap around",200,60)
image.ctx.fillText("Some images",200,140)

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// create shading map
var shading = createImage(400,200);
// left to right shading
var g1 = shading.ctx.createLinearGradient(0,0,400,0);
g1.addColorStop(0,"rgba(245,245,245,1)");
g1.addColorStop(0.05,"rgba(255,255,255,1)");

shading.ctx.fillStyle = g;
shading.ctx.fillRect(0,0,400,200);


var g = shading.ctx.createRadialGradient(0,-100,100,0,-100,200);

shading.ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0);
shading.ctx.fillStyle = g1;
shading.ctx.fillRect(0,0,400,200);

var overlay = createImage(400,400);
draw(shading,overlay.ctx,0, 40,30,110,200,1);
