well yeah the new shadow catcher could have been used for this tutorial it could have saved render time, but the fork showing through the cup needed this method.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
Thank you for all the tutorials you have made, I recently got a bad injury and I'm forced to work at home. I ran into one of your videos and I remembered how much I used to love working in 3D when I was a teenager. You have re-ignited my passion for working with 3D again And I am learning from scratch. I used Maya way back in early 2000's. Thank you so much, subbed!
A year ago I started learning Blender and you were my first to go channel. Since then I've improved my Blender skills massively thanks to other TH-camrs and I even paid for some pro tutorials. Nice to see you explaining more compared to you first videos (e.g. the reasoning behind things)! You should start something like a Patreon page so I could donate a bit to you as well since you've taught me so much for free! Then again, not actually having a Patreon / commercial webpage makes you a hero! Keep up the terrific work!
Hello, i started blender 2 years ago but i haven't been able to make much progress. what can you advice me on PAID PRO TUTORIALS as compared to the ones we get for free?
Amongst others, I found the Space VFX series by Gleb Alexandrov and Aidy Burrows extremely useful. You can check it out here: www.creativeshrimp.com/spacevfx.html
As always, this was a great tutorial! The subject was interesting, useful, and looks great, and I really appreciate that you continue to explain how to do things, such as deleting planes, or opening the properties menu. Even someone brand new to Blender can jump in and follow along. And I also like that you a lot of different options, great for learning new things and learning to navigate Blender. Thank you!
You really are a pleasure to watch and your tutorials are so straight forward I learned how to do so much with Blender in very little time. This is my favorite way to learn, watching and following along. I'm always excited when you make these basic tutorials because most tutorials done on TH-cam are on complex objects. This format allows the student to understand the tools, the location in the UI and the order of the process without overcomplicating steps. All of your prep work (knowing exact data to input prior to making these videos) saves us precious time and keeps what is most important in focus. If there were an award for Most Loved Instructor by Obsessive Compulsive Subscribers, you would be the clear winner. All I can say is please continue to produce these great videos. I would love to see a video using PBR textures and the new principle shader. Something that makes use of metallic, roughness, normals, glossy on an image texture. That would be a great one to watch. Thanks!
I always learn new possibilities when I follow your tutorials. Even when the theme has already been explored many and many times. Thank you for sharing.
outstanding. I always learn something extra watching these... like I've been using sun lamps wrong and had no idea how size affected shadows. Great info and nicely presented.
Great tutorial and I still worked through it without issue even though I'm a 2.8 noob who's had some real problems with 2.79 tutorials in the past. Nothing too different or out of place here, thankfully. Thanks for this. Really good teaching and fun content.
Nice job. You always figure out something I don't see anywhere else. Love the caustic catching 'shadow catcher'. I like to use Blam for matching the camera focal length.
You are genuinely the best!! Could you please teach us how to camera track a shot and add in a 3d model? There are many tutorials for it but none are as awesome as yours
Cermet Watch Captain Disillusion's video about it. It's not as handholding, but it's also in Blender and very easy to understand. It was in the one about the water that holds its shape.
2:28 What you are actually matching is the field of view. This is a function of both the focal length and the sensor size. If the camera’s sensor size is not Blender’s default of 32mm, then you will need to adjust accordingly. This is why I prefer working directly in field of view angle. Less messing around, and more directly related to what you are seeing.
Great video. I liked the way you gave the "why" answers and solutions to other problems some people might run into while using other images other than the one you were demonstrating! very thorough and well done!
bro seriously thanks a lot i have made the cup by seeing the first video and then edited that to this its so awesome and as we have this blender in our exam i completed my first asignment by watching not only watching by learning this thanks brother got a sub and many likes;)
Awesome tutorial, but pay attention to another important detail not mentioned in this video if you want to do this yourself. DO NOT pick images with reflective objects within. This is because your added objects will not be reflected. Also, don't make your objects that you will be adding too reflective because the the reflections will not be correct, as you can see if you look at the red glass cup, you can see the reflection of the repeating image texture out of the camera's view below. As well as when looking at the original cup and added blue cup you can see that the reflection of the light source is different, where the light was shining through a window in the original image and in the final render a single sun lamp was used and can be seen as a blob of light on the blue cup.
BattlePants well, you can make reflection catcher for every reflective object in the scene, and capture an HDRI map of the environment that you working with, that would solve the problem. But no one will ever do this.
I've been looking for this kind of opportunity for a long time. That's really great how to do that. I've known Blender for a year through you. First, I did all your tutorials from Gimp. Then all your tutorials with Blender. You always explain it very precisely with sizes etc. This makes it very easy for beginners. Even if you don't speak English. Sory for my bad English. I always wonder where you get the ideas from. And how much time you always have to make such a good tutorial. I am already looking forward to your next tutorial. Halloween? Or Christmas? When my score is ready, I can show you. Thank you again, many, many thanks.
you have created good example for new tools principle shader and denoising also good reference for adding 3D object with existing image earlier I do such stuff with hit and trial using photosho alongwith. Thanks for sharing valuable content.
Excellent! When I saw the final image, I was all "Ah, he cleverly inserted that glass cup somehow between the two real cups" - and then the other cup turned out to be fake as well! But I noticed that you determined the orientation of the floor plane by trial and error / rotating the cup until it somehow looks good. Wouldn't it be better (precision-wise) to use the two orthogonal bands of perspective lines of the wood pieces of the photo floor to deduce this (i.e., transform a plane until its perspective lines math these)?
Nice tutorial you have there :D this is really useful, some reminder for everyone that having a problem at first that didnt transparent correctly, dont forget set the "Roughness" into zero / "0", some blender with regular setting got 0.5 on roughness
I always wondered what the project from camera was for. I've never had a use for it or never tried it because I had no idea what it was. Either way, very cool.
tutor 4 u is the best title for you. "can you please make tutorial for combine blender model in a moving video" I know you are the perfect person for this tutorial. Please help....
Could you please redo this or a similar tutorial of adding object to a photo using latest Blender version plz? May be apart from glass, use some complicated scene too - with objects overlapping, transparent objects in the photo, etc?
Shadow catcher also does not work with glass transparencies either. Also you can't use the background image for the glass refractions. The projected view method is the only one working once you use transparent materials. One hint: after activating the background image in camera view I first align the world grid with the background. Makes it easier to place, move or even animate elements and allows to find the lens if unknown
Hi- I was looking at how the reflection of the glass cup showed nicely on the surface. How do you get that. I’ve been working with glass- but light works through glass, yet I’m getting a solid shadow. Is it possible for a quick tutorial to show how light can reflect off a surface - through glass
That was so helpful, thank you so much! If you're reading this can you help me with slightly reflective background/surface to sit on. My reference table has a little bit of shine to it, which will reflect the 3D objects I'm placing.
Nice tutorial. Can I make the red glass alone using your "another coffe.." tutorial. My problem is I have blender 2.72 and cannot go to 2.79 due to video card and OpenGL limitations.
im in blender 2.79b but when I go too use the Focal length or the Lens setting its no not in the version I have. is there a setting I need too finds or what please help
I hope this doesn't come off as nit picky, but is there a way to shape the light? If you look at the reflection in on the top of the real cup, you can see a window is the light source (or at least a light source). but the blender cups don't have the same shaped highlight. not sure if it's the same topic, but breaking up the light on the actual cups as if the light is distorted by dirt or smudges? I haven't watched all your tutorials so i apologize if you have already gone over something like this.
Yes there is. You can use HRDi images that have enough colour range to represent emitting lights. In the case you give, you would need an HDRi of a kitchen with a kitchen window that has light streaming through. You can (with the right equipment) take your own HRDi images - but there are plenty of HDRi web-sites out there offering free & commercial images for just such purposes.
Wow, I first thought this was just about transparency, but I learned a lot, thanks!
well yeah the new shadow catcher could have been used for this tutorial it could have saved render time, but the fork showing through the cup needed this method.
When your teaching learning in your second teacher mindfuck 😂
My other favorite blender tutor!
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Aron Lionel Instablaster :)
I have been following your channel for years and you are still the clearest, most concise blender presenter I have found on TH-cam.
Thank you for all the tutorials you have made, I recently got a bad injury and I'm forced to work at home. I ran into one of your videos and I remembered how much I used to love working in 3D when I was a teenager. You have re-ignited my passion for working with 3D again And I am learning from scratch.

This is a killer skill to have for anyone wanting to work in vfx or anything requiring photo-realism. Excellent tut. Thanks!
You should be teaching in university !! Each one of this tutorials is absolutely perfect for anyone meeting Blender for the 1st time !! Salute !!
I like your teaching style..very specific, not long drawn out..and actually move at a pace people can keep up with. Excellent! Thank You!
More and more motivation to be better and better while watching your tutorials.
Thank you mate!
SO MANY "aha" moments in this video!!!! PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!!! You are SO EASY to follow. An INVALUABLE RESOURCE!!! Thank you.

Man. You have been doing this for so long. I'm a fan of yours.
Don't need blender to know this is a good tutorial. Nice to watch it as is. Good job! :)
I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos for the last 2 or 3 years.Thanks for posting.
there is no other tutor like you for a beginner. god bless you.
Great even for new blender user like me! Not to fast, every step is clear, and i cant wait to rebuild your scene ! Awesome! Thanks a lot!
outstanding. I always learn something extra watching these... like I've been using sun lamps wrong and had no idea how size affected shadows. Great info and nicely presented.
For a beginner, these tutorials are perfect, I can follow along and every step is explained. Thanks
Well my favorite 3d instructor
BEST EVER teacher on TH-cam, thx so much

It's amazing!
CGMatter does great tutorials about camera tracking.
Wonderful tutorial! You always explain things in the most clear and informative way!
Very good tutorial. Right to the point as it doesn't include unneeded info like building the cup (not every will add a cup).

bro seriously thanks a lot i have made the cup by seeing the first video and then edited that to this its so awesome and as we have this blender in our exam i completed my first asignment by watching not only watching by learning this thanks brother got a sub and many likes;)
Dame bro, I was struggling through this stuff for around half a year, it helped alooooooooot. Thanks
BLENDERERS 1 me too
you are so patient and your tutorials are awesome thanks
Brilliant as all of your tutorials have been. Thank you!
Very well explained ... complete, easy to follow and precise. Thank you !
So many questions... esp. tricks on aligning blender objects to flat surfaces. Thanks for the tutorial.
I was looking for these videos for 6 months.
Sir, your blender tutorial videos are the best!! I would pay if you make more intermediate tutorials!
Thank you for such a clear and detailed video. Im a new Blender user and it has been a great help.
best video for blender, gonna recommend it to anyone starting off imo
Awesome tutorial, but pay attention to another important detail not mentioned in this video if you want to do this yourself. DO NOT pick images with reflective objects within. This is because your added objects will not be reflected.

Yes, this is the tutorial I've been waiting for 😃👏
Hi, can you please make this video for the new version 2.8? I am kind of struggling to put a gun on my table
.
you have created good example for new tools principle shader and denoising also good reference for adding 3D object with existing image earlier I do such stuff with hit and trial using photosho alongwith. Thanks for sharing valuable content.

Wish I could like this video twice 🔥🔥😭😭😭thanks so much. Very clear instructions
great job, i love concise tuts

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much!
Wonderful...Could you please do camera mapping and tracking??....we are waiting you
that s the best real life render tutorial i ve ever seen. gj
I was waiting a new video , ty so much ! you r the best !
I always wondered what the project from camera was for. I've never had a use for it or never tried it because I had no idea what it was. Either way, very cool.

Nice tutorial. Well explained and learned a lot. Thank you!!
LOL, I thought that only the transparent cup was 3d model :-) Great, concise tutorial. Thanks for links to source photo!
My best 3D tutor too!
Awesome video!! Thanks a lot!
Amazing,
Shadow catcher
your tutorial is completely node less i am amazed.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you.
Excellent tutorial THANKS !
clear and helpful, thanks
12:38 doesn't work for me :(. When I press the "U" and select "Project from View", distortion remains, nothing changes. I don't understand why...
Same
As usual, nice tutorial !

Geat and clearly explained. Thanks
Please upload car modeling and mirror modifier or character modeling video
Awesome tutorial and easy to understand, Thkx for share than you know it.
very helpful and professionell. Thanks
Superb, just superb! May we please have more.
Nice tutorial. Can I make the red glass alone using your "another coffe.." tutorial. My problem is I have blender 2.72 and cannot go to 2.79 due to video card and OpenGL limitations.
And this is free. Thank you so much for your work!
That's a great trick! Thank you!
Great tutorial...as always!!!
Very nice video. Appreciate it 👌
You´re Videos are really cool and You helped me a lot with them :) Thank You!
Soo helpful,thank you for this video
Thanks for the great tutorial!
Super great tuts
Genius! Great tutorial. thanks.
im in blender 2.79b but when I go too use the Focal length or the Lens setting its no not in the version I have. is there a setting I need too finds or what please help
What do I do if the lighting necessary to properly illuminate the table is insufficient to light the cups?
Awesome.. & very easy... Thanks a lot !
I love your videos!
Is there a feature to render, save the image and then shut down automatically?
Thank you for this. It is great. Can you please make the same for 2.8 please?
Wow, this is awesome!
nicely done thank you
I'm sorry but what sorcery happened at 5:39 ?
Thank you!!! You are the best!
