Reference Images/Camera Overlays in Unreal Engine!

[@slowcivicep3]

You are a legend, bless! This just saved me huge, working on a massive projection mapped room and a super specific reference overlay. Thank you!!

[@derrickz8446]

omg this helps alot but i think the image is a lot darker than my original png... any idea why?

[@PeterLeban]

Oh man, you're an angel! Thank you so much. I knew it must be an easy one but somebody showing how is invaluable! Thank you!

[@harrysanders818]

Many thanks! I used the built in blend modes instead, in my case Screen.

[@nokander]

I remember good ole' 3D Studio VIZ R2 from 2003 having a camera matching function where you could mark common spots in the backround picture and the model. Needless to say in UE I have been a very lost at matching civil engineering models with photos so thank you for this!

[@icex_music]

it was more then helpful ! thanx man! great job

[@nailbiter]

Great easy to follow tutorial! Exactly what I needed. Thanks! 👍

[@AntonPatsi]

Thanks for the tip :) worked perfectly

[@DanieleTotolo]

Thanks!! It was just what i was looking for!!

[@thevfxguy_tvg]

This is overlaying image on top. Is it a way to put image (image sequence would be better) behind everything in scene without getting affected by anything in scene like post process lighting etc.?

[@tween_factory]

OMG!!!!!! You helped me a lot! Thanks!!!

[@AlexPearce3d]

Glad I helped!

[@dr-wurm]

You're a lifesaver!

[@vladimirmedina3531]

Thank you, very well explained Alex!

[@iamjessehamad]

This is great- and I have used it a couple times already- so thank you for that! A quick question, though... is it possible to disable the overlay in-game? So far I have just been clearing the post-process material for rendering but on a current project that means removing and replacing this at least a couple hundred times.. any tips?

[@unterspace]

muy interesante lo que estaria que falta es de como armaste la textura asi seria un 10 gracias

[@shogunjon]

Any idea if this is possible in UEFN? I was able to follow until you got the the post process material on the camera.

[@AlexPearce3d]

No sorry I haven’t messed with uefn

[@juanromero-fi2cf]

Lifesaver thanks

[@AXIOMATIC854]

ok, so i am a rank beginner. I dont see "cinemacameraactorOverlay" in my list . Do i need to create that first?

[@bartekdanielak3703]

Thank. You. Boss.

[@spawn3d703]

[@YuvalDorfman]

BRILIANT!!!!

[@11001200able]

Hey please can you make same video with substrate enable ..

[@randombug3800]

thank you!🎠

[@shash8085]

how to get this with substrate?

[@MoorishMade]

Thank you.

[@wfmaia]

Thanks!!!!!

[@wilismatrix9847]

So I searchedeverywhere and appearantly no way to add overlays to viewport to be able to render them, it can be done only via widgets , that's disappointing

[@David-wu7kf]

NICE TY!!!!!!!!

[@microbounce2009]

I WANTED THIS... but unreal should get their act together and just do this with 1 click like in maya or blender.

[@NebMotion]

its a shame there isnt simply a drag and drop option on your camera or ppv

[@crearte1]

Hi, sadly this doesn't work for UE 5.3

[@animMinati]

I tried it is working for me.

[@animMinati]

I tried it is working for me.

[@nilavan3295]

enable ""output alpha" in the material details pantel

[@wilismatrix9847]

same here not working in UE5.3

[@yukieszone731]

its work for me. Wish someone find a solution for camera ratio 16:9 issue

[@wilismatrix9847]

hmm it doesn't work in UE 5.3 :/

[@JoshHarle]

You don't need to mask the alpha channel though - it's already just a single channel, right?
