The default cube didnt get deleted. THE DEFAULT CUBE DIDNT GET DELETED!!!!!!

Still relevant for blender 4 for those who are wondering. Great tutorial, just what I needed this morning!

would be cool, if you could show this technic on a more complex object and out of 2 or 3 perpectives. This could be a cheap way to do a "photogrammetry scan" So far, Thx alot!

Could you do a video on a more difficult object (Like a car or plane) that uses like three or four different perspectives and how to UV unwrap, project and bake it into one photo? Maybe add how to set that up as a custom PBR setup too. Photorealism being key, I'd like to know how to do this process for visual effects. You make great videos!

A great technique, very well explained. As an older guy trying to learn Blender I really appreciate your help and thoroughly enjoy ALL of your tutorials. Thank you for yet another learning experience. Dg

I promise. I will never skip ads in your videos.

Best screen capture keys so far ive seen

One way to get a fast resolution on the backfacing sides is to use the front images by moving the UV islands on top of the new texture (and rotate them) - this does not give you a backside, but if you do not have an image to source from, it at least gives an undistorted 360 view :-).

You don't need to use a calculator, blender inputs can do math.

Thanks. Everyday I learn free tutorials on youtube. And now im using blender for 2years still improving. Hope this channel grow and more helpful tutorials in the future. keep it up

Very cool technique, after my current uni projects are done and i have holidays, I will watch through all your videos :D

No need to increase amount of samples in this case. Samples don't affect several passes out of all; Emit, Diffuse (if Color only) and Normal are the most important ones out of those that do not depend on that. Thanks for the tutorial.

Would love to see a re-run of this but explaining how to do multiple camera views, so that the whole object is mapped. Thanks great video!

This channel is incredibly helpful! Glad to know I'll be able to claim being an OG sub when you break 1,000,000.

this is clearly an advanced technique! Very interesting and well explained. Thx

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing 👍

You know what? This is really perfect way to make low-poly models out of real-life objects :)

i have seen a lot of tutorials on.youtube . yours are.the best so.far

So well and carefully explained step by step, and even with general idea reviews at the end! I've come back to watch this tutorial and realized that I really appreciate this earlier style of teaching. It seems that, although very entertaining and fun, you've become manic and way too fast in your more recent tutorials. I enjoy your tutorials and am very grateful for your time and effort, but in my humble opinion, I kinda like these earlier, more "professorly", style tutorials better for learning. Thank you and please don't take it the wrong way. You're great (and maybe a bit of a genius)!

The thing you have set up for keypresses should be mandatory for ALL tutorial videos.

For everyone : Jump to minute 10:00 that´s where this tutorial starts.

Very useful. Thanks!

Calculator shortcut: blender numerical inputs can accept python math expressions, like "1920/1080.0"

ninja, I did it, you taught me some important things about uv mapping and shaders, thank you

me watiching the video a 1.75x speed because i'm used to fast cgmatter by now.

Power of UVmaps is unlimited!

ur my little dudeman

Really nice tutorial, learned a lot. By the way, if you own Photoshop you can use the tool called Perspective Crop to straighten each side of your object (in this case it was cereal box) and save it in one image. Then you just need to adjust it in blender to match faces :p

This camera mapping stuff is amazing, thanks for explaining this, subbed

Straightforward and thorough many thanks many thanks many thanks

You, Sir, deserve a round of applause. I was struggling to understand the idea behind all the uv swapping happening in other tutorials. Thanks a lot!! One question though, at around 12:25 you show the tesselated geometry's UV and said that this is not the ideal uv unwrapping. But why is it not ideal? I mean it gets the job done and puts the texture at the right place doesnt it? 🤔

The best ever advertise for *CRUNCHY*.....;)

OMG thank you so much this is exactly what I needed

The box was not slanted, you needed to match the camera lens.

default cube get to work

here is a stupid little hack that might help some beginners: to make this effect work on all sides of the cube in one bake, when you unwrap the target cube, put the front and back face UVs on top of each other, same with the top and the bottom faces and the left and the right faces, that way, whatever image is showing on the front, it will also show on the back, it might not work with all objects though, sorry for the terrible explanation haha, great video, thanks man.

Finally my questions are answered

That's a lot of work. I would just set the perspective and cube up, unwrap it and go straight into texture stencil mode and paint the texture onto the object.

Well done

great, thanks for sharing.

How can i transfer this to roblox studio I made one thats decent but dont know how to put it in roblox

Hey, Can you do the same with multiple photos of an object, to map it from every side? Can you do it for complex shapes?

make me feeling complex!

I see you're using C4D, Davinci and ZBrush. It would be interesting to learn why do you prefer those for certain tasks.

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing 👍

so awesome!!!!! Cheers buddy:)

Super helpful, thank you!

EXCELLENT tutorial

To save Texture space, you could just have 6 faces to map only 3 texture regions, as you won't do other pictures from the box.

Amazing

Dude, wouldn't it be faster to just UV unwrap the box and manually move each of the 3 faces to match up with the image?

there is camera vector in Texture Coordinate node. I think it would no the same. Without deforming.

Outstanding! Part 2, multilple images :) Thanks

How is it undistorted what, thats some dark magic

Do you have to do the incorrect way in order to do the proper way? Is there a straight forward way of just baking the camera mapping onto one object from the start?

you are king

The power of bacon. All hail the bacon!

you're so smart

I'm learning Blender for fun but I wonder after acquiring the skill showed in this video, who would pay for this kind of job?

20:12 - Node Wrangler

Wicked, thanks!

is this really the way to get this to work? seems a little insane that project from view can't do a simple stretch without upping the poly (FOR A TEXTURE) or adding all these work arounds

a side tip/info bit; the reason the cube didnt align right up is because there are no perfectly straight, perfectly parallel, 100% angles (like exactly 90deg), flat surfaces or perfect circles in the real world. In fact we go through an entire scientific process to get a surface that is square and flat for machining and is exceedingly difficult as the tolerance you have to work with (1oooth, 10oooths etc) gets smaller. You will have to keep this in mind when you are setting stuff like this up.

Hey comments! I did it and it looks great but after exporting it the textures on the export are wrong again like in the original! HELPS

Maybe it would be possible to project a face picture onto a 3D face mesh?

My image isn't properly projected onto the geometry even after changing the aspect ratio in UV project modifier Its distorted, Please help.

I don't understand why the original mesh needs subdividing for the projection to look correct. It's the same shape.

whats about organic shapes? how do a correct alignment without clear xyz axes? for example to project one of 25 images of a 3d scan of a human head on the scanned 3d model correctly? it would be terrible if i have to do all these steps for 20 or 50 textureimages again and again too. is there a possibility to set points in the image which are correspond with same in the 3d model. fe. like in meshlab (mutual information) to aling and correct the camera position ?

Help Me! What If I want to put an image on object without changing its UV? Like using Camera or Window as Texture coordinate instead of UV. Can I bake it on that object?

Thanks. Could you show how to do it without Fspy? I have an image that has no clear vanishing point.

woooow thankssss

How do you bake the missing sides onto the same „cube“ so that you can rotate it and see all sides with the correct texture?

Very interesting. A bit like watching someone make a cake from one they digested earlier. Might be easier to make one from raw ingredients.

Next tutorial though, I would leave out the steps that are incorrect and only focus on the steps that are needed. That made the video much more complicated.

awesome

where is the bake section inside the render properties for 2.82 ?

thanks for sharing

I do not understand how the opposite direction to settexturerect right! To the opposite side showed the same thing!

Great tutorial as always! I have just a bit of confusion, that how does the baking know what target to bake onto? Is it just the current active (selected) set of object, node and UV, as it appears to me in the video?

I don't know why the title got translated to spanish but It makes little to no sense at all as It is right now

Longer, wider and taller... is what every man wants

What's the difference between this and your other texture painting tut? Seems similar, minus using fspy no?

Doing this would allow you to fracture it properly, yes?

I'm wondering if this technique can work with animated textures or for saying in another way instead of having an still image as a background we use a video as a background? Thanks for sharing!

how did you make camera like that

Hi, I'm trying to do the same thing following your video but I have a problem, saved the fspy file, when the amount on blender doesn't show it to me, I only see the cube framed by the camera, I would like to know how to set it up, thank you .

If the amount of projections is increased, would you need to add more image texture nodes?

can you just do unwrap from view while lookin from the camera

How do you bake the image sequence using this technique?

So, how could I add another camera projection, if I wanted to rotate 360° around my object, for example. And what should I do if my object is not a perfect, uniform structure like a box or cube? Thanks.

Is DefaultCube the low res projection of CGMatter?

He has Cinema4d!

Great tutorial, maybe you can change GPU Tile size to bake image size ex. 1500 x 1500 it will boost your bake speed.

Subscribed. (And I'm VERY picky!!!) lol

you made me sleep bro

How can I render to texture in Blender 2.8? I need to get an life image from a camera displayed on a plane (like a mirror or so). Before 2.79 it was possible with a few nodes and a RenderToTexture script, but in 2.8 I lost my way. Thanks in advance

Guys being a noob i had this issue. Couldn't find the Unwrapped net in the UV editing panel on the left. You need to have the faced selected in order to view how it is aligned with your texture!! don't make the same mistake as i did hahaaha. Good luck guys

am i really have to do this for every model i do fast with camera projection? is there any way to do fast camera projection + modeling so i can have any 3d model textured for background for example

Did anyone got this to work? I'm trying to bake textures for a chair so I can mix the photo texture with a hires procedural texture, but I try to do the baking, and either the image baked is in the perspective of the projection, or just blacks out. I'm not sure if this is because the unwrapped low poly is in an UDIM tile

Can't we do it using projection painting?
