I love it that such a useful function finally made it into the default part of Blender!

[@5MinutesBlender]

True!

WOW I thought my Blender install was messed up before seeing this. Thanks for clearing this up :)

[@5MinutesBlender]

Glad it helped! 😊💝💝

[@DeejayJeanP]

For anyone who this does not work for, it might be that you still have to enable the add-on. I'm on 4.2 and I was able to turn it on.

The more Blender "advances", the more bits it looses. Since Blender 4.1 lost its AutoSmooth feature, I switched back and I'm sticking to Blender 4.0.2.

[@bengelman2600]

It's still there. Right click > Smooth by angle. And the little F9 menu will pop up with the actual angle number. Or you add it as a modifier.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes, you can use Auto Smooth By Angle from the menu as well, it is the same like before but with more flexibility. People talk about losing the AutoSmooth feature but I did not really get what is actually lost 🤔🤔

[@mutedsounds2k]

@@bengelman2600 I do NOT NEED it as a MODIFIER (which doesn't work on arrays). Thank you, but NO, THANK YOU.

[@CGSTUDENT15]

I think the upgrades is really cool like we have to enable image as plane from addon menu but now it is the default option and this is good I hope they will make more things default ( that we have to enable from prefences ) ​@@5MinutesBlender

[@CGSTUDENT15]

And yes things are adding with more flexibility and control like we can use auto smooth in geometry nodes which we can't in blender 4.0🎉

[@kintenkinten]

Thank you. Could have been 5 seconds long though

[@5MinutesBlender]

Ask someone who went through the geometry nodes from Blender 3.2 to Blender 4.0 😂😂😂

[@Nopenohandle253]

Is there a way to do this in 2d animation? I can’t find the add button

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes, we have the same option in the Add menu - but you have to be in the Object mode to see that menu. By default when you open 2D Animation it takes you to the Drawing mode. Switch over to the Object Mode from the left end of the menu bar, then you'll see the Add menu.

Kindly help to import png sequence,your tutorial just for one png,i want to import png sequence.

[@5MinutesBlender]

I don't know what you have tried, but I see that image sequence is importing smoothly. Just follow the same method as described here. In the file open dialog box select all the files in your image sequence folder and add them. It will create one plane for each image spaced appropriately along the x-axis.

[@Astral1s_Safe_Place]

how to do this on grease pencil?

[@anaskazi4444]

I have some issues with properties. Some icon is missing like [material property]. Can you help me please?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Please send us your blend file ([e-mail]) and also tell me which version of Blender you are using. We will check and get back to you.

Please check if you are running into lighting issues in the new version of Eevee, we have discussed some useful tips here 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/borXcmysmph6qbs

[@mathis2804]

thanksssssssss

[@Chrisumeow]

can you import images on 2d animation?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes... I mean you need to animate them in Blender after you import it. Maybe I did not get your question, can you please elaborate it for me?

[@Chrisumeow]

@@5MinutesBlender well I want to know if theres a way to import images on blender 2d animation cuz I don't know how to, I didn't see any tutorial from blenders newest version to import images on 2d animation

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@Chrisumeow Yes it is the same in 2D animation as well. By default when you open 2D animations, Blender takes you into the Draw mode. If you switch over to the Object mode, you'll get the Add menu under which you have Image > Mesh Plane option to add/import any picture.

[@Chrisumeow]

@@5MinutesBlender thank you so much! I'm new to blender so I had no idea if it was even possible to import images in 2d

[@Spittoon]

what about import video as plane?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Same process, just select your video instead of the picture when it asks for the input file. It works right away without any additional effort, the video plays as you run the animation. Just tested this!

[@rachelmurphy4190]

Yeah it doesn't appear, nothing in my add-ons even remotely has it

[@5MinutesBlender]

So you have the solution here, right?

[@小笼包-m3o]

nah. there is no "Import Images As Planes" among the addons on Blender 4.2 ( at least for the time being ) no among the deactivated ones, no among the activated ones.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes, there is no add-on anymore. This add-on was there in the previous versions. It is now integrated as a menu option from Blender 4.2 which is what we discussed in this tutorial. Am I missing something? 🤔

[@小笼包-m3o]

@@5MinutesBlender will watch again😂 it was 3am when I was following this tut, I probably missed it. edited: yeah I just watched a little bit, now I see. Thank you, have a great day, mate.

[@BLENDERSIR]

Sir, when my object follows the path and as soon as the path ends, why does the object automatically move out? Why does it not stop when the path ends?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Hi, it can happen if you have used a position value greater than the length of your path in the follow path constraint. You can find this value in the "Frames" field under Path Animation in the Curve tab for the Curve object. It is 100 by default. So you can set a position from 0 to 100 in the follow path constraint. If you enter say 150, the object will go beyond the end of the path end.

[@altheaarchives96]

fk blender, I just got back and so many features are missing, or at least they make it harder to find. WHY?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Blender is evolving. Something missing, something changed, and we have some very nice features newly added. I think the biggest change is now the Bloom effect is dropped (however we created a free add-on for the same) 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2bCe2pnnNiWrpo

[@altheaarchives96]

@@5MinutesBlender thank you, sorry for being rude earlier... I was just so frustrated, had a tight deadline and stuff. 😁✌️

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@altheaarchives96 Yes I can understand 👍 The new ray-tracing option in Eevee, although not flawless yet, is a game changer for faster rendering. It can produce Cycles-like output in 10% time of Cycles, I would say in 70% cases. For the rest 30% Cycles is still the only option.

[@johnsmith56920]

Now this might be a stupid question but... I have skin textures that are 100% realistic because they are the HF layer of a Split Frequency apparatus in Photoshop. Therefore they contain all the info needed for photo realism in one go. In order to have them on a 3D model they need to be rendered AS THEY ARE but wrapped on the model. Is there a way to do this? If we can do this, it is very easy to get 100% realistic skin in 3D: a rendering without texture (it will be the LF layer of the apparatus), a rendering with the texture as described above and compositing WITH THE PHOTOSHOP LINEAR LIGHT MODE. Is there a way to do this?

[@5MinutesBlender]

After a long time 😊 I hope you are good. I don't have that much experience with Photoshop, but we do have compositing options in Blender and we can use the Linear Light mode in Color Mix nodes. But I think the primary challenge would be to correctly unwrap the UV map for such a detailed texture of the entire skin area 🤔

[@johnsmith56920]

@@5MinutesBlender There is no challenge because the original rendering will be blurred by 15 pixels so details are almost irrelevant. the rendering will only serve as a LF layer. All the info for the texture is in the HF layer that must be rendered AS IT IS. It looks weird but: 1) Being a photographer using Photoshop since 1995, I have an internal knowledge of the textures. 2) Being a mathematician I can think things others can't. Mix this with a factor of 0.5 and you might have something ... different Do you want to see what I did in 5min Photoshop?
