How To Render A Background Image In Blender

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to add a background image in Blender Render. We will use the "Import Images As Planes" Addon. It allows us to import a image into a mesh. So, we can show the image in the render result.

The plane does not have emission and reflections will look off since the Background is gray, so you can accompany this with an hdri

[@edwardmartinson5247]

What would be the procedures to add emission?

[@poken9293]

@@edwardmartinson5247 Just plug the node for your sky image texture into the emission node

[@LUCIDWRLD999]

​@@edwardmartinson5247there's a whole video for it , search how to make realistic skies in blender

[@spray_cheese]

@@edwardmartinson5247also turn off specular. Otherwise the sky will react with other lights in the scene(one step further you can disable the light catching on the plane. And make it strictly emit light without catching any)

[@AntonWeber981]

With a background, it is very important to use the emission shader (shader editor) and set it so that the background plane itself does not cast a shadow (Object Properties -> Visibility -> Ray Visibility).

[@NerdLegionInc]

does the image have to be a specific file type or something? The images I try to load in just come in as normal planes?

[@CapyCutEdits]

I have the same issue

[@thepinoyartist]

HDRI TEXTURES BE LIKE… AM I JOKING TO YOU? 😐😂

[@potatographics]

don’t think i don’t see that buildify LoL

[@yoannalcazar3260]

does this image has any light pointing at it? How does the lighting works on an image-plane?

[@sidddhartha100]

Just take a node frm the img texture and stick it to the emission node

I don’t think you have to install a addon

[@emsparsh]

I know you think that we can add image but we can't render it when render there is no image so we have to install this addon

[@jamesriley5057]

But it's not parallax

[@SpaceLinkDesign]

It might be helpful for a quick render without creating a whole sky with realistic volumetric clouds. but i think you still can achieve some parallax effect even if its not that significant. you can make the picture always look directly at the camera so it looks straight

[@armanchahal1]

Move the image far back and scale it to the desired output, boom you got the parallax.

[@jonahkelsey1302]

This is a pretty terrible way to go about any of this, if you are new I would look for tutorials elsewhere
