Man, this tutorial was fantastic! I worked through the tutorial, using a little animation that I had hacked up. Painless! Nice touch showing us about the colour curve node as well!
Great! Thank you. It would be also useful to show how to use different additional filters to make it more realistic (color match, brightness match, blur), by the way, I figure it out myself :)
Thanks for your helpful video. Could you please let me know how to align the image and 3D point cloud? for example, I have an image building facade and 3D point cloud. I do not know how to align them together?
Hey, Blender Daily, a great tutorial, but since the update from HDRI Haven to Polyhaven i'm struggling to find an option to download the JPG file of a selected HDR. Since this is a crucial step of your tutorial - could you comment something about that ? I can only find the HDR, EXR options :(
Hi, great tutorial but i would like to know if it is possible to get a reflection on the plane instead of a shadow, still transparent from an object with an emission material above the plane.
Looks like Polyhaven no longer provides the images separately. I can only see the hdri, not the invividual frame you use for the camera background? Is there some clever way to do this without?
Thanks, great one very clear. But I should say that sometimes in fspy it is dangerous to put the axis on the ground of the image because there is ALWAYS a slope on the exterior grounds (gravity for water) that could drive you mad in Blender for precise modelisation. So it is better to take horizontals lines on the buildings.
Super interesting thanks. I have a question: if there was an element of the photo that you wanted to look like it was in front of the model (for example a cat in the street that you want to appear as if it was in front of the model), is it possible to place an Blender object in front of the model that you can then hide to show only the photo? Hope you understand what I mean.
Possible, in several ways, but most may seem overly complex if you're a beginner. I think it normally involves modeling the blocked part to be brought forward, the "cat," for instance, in at least 2d plane form, (if a still image is your output), and then figuring out how to use the model as a perfectly-matched "mask" over the other obscuring model -- the robot model, in this case. Turning off the mask's object's camera rays, or otherwise making it "alpha," or invisible somehow in compositing. A few other issues might have to be solved, but this should be a start. Masking out a second photo (of the cat) placed in front, to match in Blender, Photoshop or manually "rotoscoping" in video editing software, is another less efficient, time-consuming way if it's a video. I think this is sometimes done in videos to morph a person into a "werecat," for instance, and they usually start with a matching model of the actor, (as well as the ending werecat) to be morphed... (If this workflow is way off, please someone correct me...)
amazing tuto ! Can we change the softness of the shadow ? Cause in your tuto your shadow is really sharp and not as dark as the other shadows in the scene. Thank you very much !!^^
Great tutorial, thank you for the many contributions. However, I have a question, the shadows projected by HDRI are very clear compared to the shadows of the background photo. Is it possible to make them softer? I thank you in advance. Good work
--I dont have "Shadow Catcher" option. There is only "Mask - Holdout" for me. Blender 3.4.1. Maybe i dont have some options enabled, idk, please help :D-- I found it, but it just made my pane black :D
omf why does this always happen? people make a video and then when i try the first steps my computer always doesnt work this fspy stuff isnt showing up when i install it and i wish this open source stuff would be typed up a little better cause its so confusing to find download links and how to install
Is it possible to make the character's shadow darker and more blended around the edges to better match the other shadows in the scene? Thanks for this tutorial!
You must render only shadow before compositing to adjust contrast with nodes. To render shadow, unactivate character render at "collections panel" (camera icon next to eye icon). At the end you have to have 2 render passes (Shadow and Character) before final compositing.
Well, this is all good. But what about spaceman sticking out from the image by its color, shading and his edges are sharp. Basically, he's not blending in. We need a TUT on that matter too.
Nice but one thing is missing for it to really look realistic...which is the blurriness of the shadow...the shadow in the photo is semi soft and yours is sharp, I'd change the shadow to be similarly soft and then it would be actually perfect but it is still cool.
@@JA-nw1ge Well, play with the size of your lighting setting (sun for example has a size setting which when set to big I think it's making the shadows softer).
@@JA-nw1ge Well, then the HDRI's lighting and sun size in the HDRI image itself is dictating how sharp or soft the shadows would look..then if your HDRI gives sharp shadows then you have to change the HDRI to a one that features soft shadows (or you could try to perhaps edit the sun size in the given HDRI to be bigger using a brightness & contrast filter on the sun only (with a selection portion on it) to make it brighter and thus bigger which should give softer shadows but I'm not sure how well that would work.
Thank you for this, really helpful :) May I please ask you...will this work if using TEXT? I want to learn how to add TEXT to a photo and cast shadows etc, so it looks like part of the original photo?
Hey!! Does anyone know why my shadow is not moving with mapping node? Is it necessary for the image to be a HDR? Because I am using a jpeg. Please help!
Hey, ich habe irgendwie das Gefühl, dass ihr deutsch versteht, also schreibe ich auf deutsch :D zuerst einmal großes Lob für dieses tolle Video! Aber wie kann man aus dem HDRI einen unverzerrten Teil rausschneiden? :)
nice tutorial ! thank you.... it would be interesting in a future tutorial to make the camera moving (camera projection) as well in the space to crate a small movie clip
Yes, there is. There is no add-on required. It uses only existing Blender built-in Camera Tracking tool. But is a bit more involved and requires two photos of the same scene taken from slightly different perspectives. Visit here for more details ruclips.net/video/aknsCszvMdA/видео.html
What if you want to use your own photo, where you don't have a 360 Sky-HDRI-Photo from? I appreciate your video, but i miss how i have to use the lightning to let it look realistic as possible without a HDRI-Photo.
I would recommend you to still use hdrihaven.com and just search for a similar hdri, go for a sun lamp or use the new nishita sky texture that was implemented in Blender 2.9. I hope this helps✌🏻

Amazing. The whole progra, Blender, you guys especially that do tutorials. Would be lost. Blender Foundation tutorials ok, Docs, Not so OK. First month was painful. Almost broke my spirit.
You can upwrap the shadow catcher plane using "Project from View" option, and use the same image in the Bump to help natural jitterness in the shadow.

What does really mean, updated video perhaps?
Honestly the simplest way to do this and also by far the clearest tutorial on the internet! Thank you for doing this!
hey Matt, very happy to hear that!
Before turning background to transparent you can rotate the HDRI to match the lighting as you have HDRI with backplate already.
Incredible stuff... With 3D being discontinued from Photoshop, Blender is really drawing me in. Great tutorial - thanks and keep em coming!
Shadow catchers also provide bounce lighting so it helps to shade it the same color as the pic
great share. I like the shadow up the wall. that definitely sells the realism.
unbelievable, awesome tutorial. Clear voice, excellent speed etc
This fspy addon is a gem. Thank you for sharing the info with us.
yeah, I absolutely love it!
Man, this tutorial was fantastic! I worked through the tutorial, using a little animation that I had hacked up. Painless! Nice touch showing us about the colour curve node as well!

Great tutorial. I was thinking of doing something like that and your video came just when I needed it!
great!
Great tutorial! Is it also possible to get 3d objects to reflect, so that if say the image has a window I’ll see the 3d objects in it?
Very well and clearly explained. Thank you!
Great! Thank you. It would be also useful to show how to use different additional filters to make it more realistic (color match, brightness match, blur), by the way, I figure it out myself :)
excellent tutorial
Great video from A to Z with min time spent. Thank you
What if I don't have an HDR file? Can I re create something like it with geometry nodes or something?
wait how did you do 4:27? When I drag the plane it doesn't follow the perspective like yours. Is this some kind of hotkey I don't know of?
So good and simple!! Thank u
Geez I would love to master this so much
Very nicely done and very helpful. Always learn something new from your videos!
Hey there. Awesome tutorial, but the addon doesn't seem to work. I tried a bunch of different blender versions but nope. Thanks anyways.
Really useful as usual, thanks Nick !

You can import the HDR file in the environment texture instead of JPG. HDR is better here.
Hi, great tutorial but i would like to know if it is possible to get a reflection on the plane instead of a shadow, still transparent from an object with an emission material above the plane.
Yes the new shadow catcher in 3.0 do reflections.
one the best tutorial!
Looks like Polyhaven no longer provides the images separately. I can only see the hdri, not the invividual frame you use for the camera background? Is there some clever way to do this without?
you sure can, they can be found on the same site as the hdri, right side of screen and when mouse hover over you can see download options ;)
Thank you for this tutorial. Wonder if you teach us aplied at interior scene.
Thanks, great one very clear.

good tip, thanks!
thank you for this fantastic tutorial
glad you like it!
чувак, это прекрасно! спасибо тебе большое!!!
How do you update the version to the latest? I am using blender 2.93 and it wont let me post the URL from any of the sites you mentioned.
Is there a way to render shadows and model in seperate render passes so we can fine-tune later.
You`re amazing, greate tutorial! Thanks
Super interesting thanks.

hello, how do you zoom in scene without changing the camera position at 4:12? Thanks
Thank you so much good man!
If you have a 3d character in blender, is it possible to add it to a chair so that character sits in the chair (like photoshop)?
this was a valuable content.

Does anyone know hwo to change the shadow opacity, turns out that my shadow is way darker then the environment shadow?
how to let mirror the object in the ground?
theshadow catcher is just grey and not transparent help

agreed
to get the shadows fading out correctly, adjust the whole scene to real world scale
Can you make background video with 3d animation
Well, this is all good. But what about spaceman sticking out from the image by its color, shading and his edges are sharp. Basically, he's not blending in. We need a TUT on that matter too.
In compositor you maybe can add a blur filter, like Gaussian.
Nice but one thing is missing for it to really look realistic...which is the blurriness of the shadow...the shadow in the photo is semi soft and yours is sharp, I'd change the shadow to be similarly soft and then it would be actually perfect but it is still cool.

good job
Very nice my friend
it doesnt work for me with the projection :/ when i add a plane it is like 45 degrees turned and dont really aling the axis

can you align the 3d or it's just fixed?
oh yes this is gonna be good
My shadow catchers aren't turning invisible, they just turn a really dark gray, is there anything that I'm missing here?
nvm, I figured it out, I'm just an idiot
the 3d character model gives an unsupported error upon import, says Version 6100 unsupported, must be 7100 or later
Thank you
How do you get the flattened image? When I import the HDRI into Fspy, it looks nothing like the image you are working with.
you don’t import the hdri into fspy. There are backplate images on hdrihaven that I used, not the actual hdri.
@@BlenderDaily Thank you so much! Awesome tutorial, cheers!
what about just a random jpeg pic can i use it or i need to have hdr?
you can use any picture you want:)
Is there a way making it without this perspective matching software?
Yes, there is. There is no add-on required. It uses only existing Blender built-in Camera Tracking tool. But is a bit more involved and requires two photos of the same scene taken from slightly different perspectives.
