How to Match a Photo with fSpy

Learn how to use fSpy to create photo-matched cameras for 3D modeling and compositing in Maya or Blender.
In this video tutorial, you'll learn the basics of using FSpy, a free and open-source image matching software. FSpy can be used to create photo-matched cameras that can be imported into Maya or Blender to create scaled and accurate 3D models. You'll also learn how to use FSpy for digital compositing.
Here are some of the things you'll learn in this video:
How to install and set up FSpy
How to select the number of vanishing points in your image
How to place the vanishing points in your image
How to check the accuracy of your camera match
How to export the camera parameters from FSpy
How to import the camera parameters into Maya or Blender
This video is perfect for:
3D artists who want to create photo-realistic models
VFX artists who want to composite 3D models into live-action footage
Anyone who wants to learn how to use fSpy

thanks for this video, its less intimidating than the other fspy tutorial videos, you make it sound simple for me 😙

[@WhatMakeArt]

Glad it helped, how your fspy project works out well 👍

[@musama4987]

Your teaching method is really awesome. I understand your every single point very well. Thankyou for this great tutorial.

Thanks, glad it was helpful 👍

thank you for this video :)

[@WhatMakeArt]

Welcome 👍

[@georgeluna6217]

nice one thank you. What about blender side? How do you import and match the photos?

[@WhatMakeArt]

This shows how to install the fspy Blender Addon - need to make a full video showing what to do with the matched photo once in Blender

[@georgeluna6217]

@@WhatMakeArt great looking forward to it

[@cerealfede]

hi, why did you chose the "export camera parameters JSON" in the final example? I can't seem to import that in blender.

[@WhatMakeArt]

Yeah that was a mistake in the video

[@cerealfede]

@@WhatMakeArt :) OK, thought that the 3point camera needed some other export setting lol, thanks!

how do you zoom in fspy on mac?

[@WhatMakeArt]

Press and hold shift to zoom while placing vanishing points in fSpy on Mac and Windows

Why does this video exist? What does it do that others haven't done? I feel like there have been other tutorials that cover fSpy more in-depth like the one by Bartosz Pampuch... Also... why isn't Maya explored at all?

[@WhatMakeArt]

I appreciate the feedback. These videos are made for students in specific courses at a certain level, the goal is to cover what is needed for that lesson. Yes, there can be redundant knowledge on the Internet. Hopefully those that are already familiar with fspy skip this one for other topics. I try to cover Maya and Blender but haven't made a Maya fspy video yet, will likely make one in the future. Many students prefer to learn Blender since it costs a lot less than Maya

[@theapexpredator157]

@@WhatMakeArtI see... you create specialized content that covers only certain areas while omitting others so as to not overwhelm students... I think that makes sense... I'd appreciate a fSpy tutorial for Maya since my institution has us learning it... I think I prefer it over Blender though since the latter doesn't have Y-Up (as far as I know)... I'm having trouble with getting the camera to get set up correctly in Maya, but yea... If you have time and see value in it, then I'd like to see if you can solve my problems...

[@WhatMakeArt]

The key with Maya is to type in all the correct camera information from fspy into the 3D camera in Maya, I will put that on the list because some of my students probably have the same question

[@theapexpredator157]

I put all the information correctly from fSpy into Maya, but it still doesn't work out for me... Camera Position, Orientation as well as the Focal Length... It gives me a view that isn't like what I see in the image I use...@@WhatMakeArt

[@WhatMakeArt]

That's frustrating when something like that doesn't work ... I assume you have seen these other videos, that cover f-spy and Maya? If not, perhaps they could help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/in6unoapds9koLMsi=BzUociOi4x16-b_D
