If we imported an image as a background and later realize that we need to have it as regular plane. Related content: How to use background images in Blender Convert a background image to a plane If you need a more complete guide on how to set up reference images you can read this article. The background image will always be drawn behind other objects while a reference will show up in front. This will import the image in the same way but with different preferences set. Note that we also have a "Reference" option in the image submenu. Then browse for the image we want to import. We can reset the rotation with Alt+R.įrom there we can position the image using the regular transform tools, Rotate, Move and, scale.Īnother way is to press Shift+A in the 3D viewport and go to image→Background. When you do the image will align to the view.

The easiest way to import an image as background is to drag-and-drop it from your file browser. Suggested content: Artisticrender's E-Book How to import an image as a background image It has helped many people learn Blender faster and deepen their knowledge in this fantastic software.

There are more ways that we can import an image into Blender. If you drop it into the shader editor, it will get added as an image texture node.

If you drop it in the 3D viewport it will become a background image object. The most basic way to import an image into Blender is to drag-and-drop it. The best way depends on what we want to do with the image once we imported it. This skill is often used, for example, when you want to fill an image of an empty apartment with realistic 3D models of furniture.There are many ways to import images into Blender. To do this they must be rendered in separate rendering layers and after that those layers will be added on top of each other using the node editor in the Compositor window.Īfter the course, you can use the skill you have learned to add any 3D models on the surfaces of different kinds of images. In the second exercise, 3D models of three coffee mugs will be added on top of a glass table in an image so that they will form both a shadow and a reflection on it.

This course is meant for 3D artists who already have some experience with Blender, but if you are a motivated beginner, this course is great for you as well. Using the node editor in the Compositor window Using fSpy to define the right perspective for the cameraįorming a shadow on a surface in an imageįorming a reflection on a surface in an image Lastly, an image of the view is rendered. After that, the 3D model and a plane object will be added to the 3D space. The next step is to make the 3D model form a shadow and, if necessary, a reflection on the surface of the plane object so that they appear to be on top of a surface that is in the image. This makes the end result as realistic as possible. Learn to add a 3D model to an image! The first step is to get the perspective of the camera in Blender to match the perspective of the actual camera on which the photo was taken.
