Modeling a 3d wall from a 2D image in Blender

[@theCreativeSav]

Instead of painstakingly selecting each polygon one after the other, you can move to orthographic view and box select all you want on that side all at once (make sure transparency isn't turned on though)

[@koronikarz-poczujtajwannaw8611]

Select by is another powerful tool, e.g select faces by similar area controlled by threshold. You can also Select more/less faces/edges/verts with ctrl numpad+/numpad-

[@MeNoOther]

Suggest separating the windows and making them a separate object . Saves on edge loops Then you can just use one window, and Alt D copies that share textures and info, or use an array modifier

[@pikachufan25]

thata a Really good one

[@DeathxStrike18]

Usually better to bevel after correction of the uv, as the bevel just adds a cut line over the UV. Also less planes to click.

[@seppsowas]

with CTRL-key you can select from-to / with ALT-key you can select edge loops ;)

Perfect! After wasting a day of my life trying to import Google Map images into MSFS 2020, I decided to look into just building the airport myself. First of all I can just 'turn on' all the taxiway and runway markings and signs in Dev Mode in FS. Now I just need to add custom buildings, tower, hangars using photos as planes. Nice! Plane planes, not airplanes.

[@ferdousmahmudhasib1520]

Thank you very much. You really care for beginners. Hope you continue teaching us just like this.

[@minggnim]

After watching 3 other videos and failing, you're the 1st to instruct to use "Cycles" ... and it works. Thanks.

[@bettlebug5988]

Looks really simple and I ❤simple Thanks for the tutorial.

[@EasyFlows]

Thanks for the tutorial. One tip, when selecting the window sill, mark one of the faces then go select similar -> normals. That way you select every face pointing the same direction.

[@DimiArt]

thanks for that, helped me out a lot

[@gopherbar]

Fantastic video thanks I’m just teaching myself blender so was wondering how to do this.

[@SumNumber]

This is still a cool way to make buildings . You can also make what appear to be objects by image stacking . An image plane usually has only four verts so imitating a solid object by image stacking works well in most situations , especially if it appears to be a detailed object. . Anyway what viewer really takes a look at all the detail in an animation ? Only 3D people notice the tiny stuff . :O)

[@hashanfernando]

Just what I was looking for, thanks for uploading this!

[@kikurasss8970]

Thx for sharing to the community.

[@seanposkea]

A thought about your normal issue in Evee. I thought it was a normal problem too but I think its actually that the material needs to be set to opaque for the alpha channel under the materials tab. By default it sees dark tones as translucent. Maybe that what you were experiencing? Once I did that I had no problems.

[@nadimkazi87]

I was gonna comment this, I also used to face this problem and it was solved by changing from Alpha Blend to Opaque.

[@gryphonsegg]

Thank you for that tip!

good work

[@kroser1983]

i know this is late but for anyone watching now its best to correct all stretched textures and get that all done before bevelling. this will make your life easier to select faces as you wont have to worry about the bevelled faces

[@suburbanview]

Thank you very much! You are excelent Teacher!

[@ivanb386]

Hi...You mention a weird normals preview in the viewport shading mode (kinda transparent flipped preview) I had the exact same thing and it was doing my head in.....I found that in the texture settings, the "Viewport Display" blend mode was set to "Alpha Blend" rather than "Opaque"...Switch to opaque and the preview in eevee looks correct. This happens when importing the image as a plane....there is an option (when selecting the image) to have Alpha...uncheck it, so it doesn't change the blend mode. I thought I'd share this if others were experiencing the same thing. Thanks for the video.

[@gryphonsegg]

perfect advice! Thank you.

you can look through free texture sites like Textures,com [www.textures.com/ ] you could probably find what you are looking for in the building or windows categories. but usually searching the image on google works for me, searching "windowed wall" usually gives me the best results.

By now, I don't understand why you can't just do it automatically like a displacement map. After all the information is there to determine what is popping out and what isn't.

[@TravellingPillsbury]

I want to know more about that very thing. I'm quite new to Blender and have tried very little yet. My background of late has been Fusion 360 where I've been designing for real world mfr, but also doing mockups for customers. If I need a vector shape from a photograph I can trace it in Inkscape and separate into as many or few layers as I need, each of them with the capacity to be extruded, etc. For instance, what if I needed a diamond paned window? Would that mean I'd be placing loop cut diagonal lines for hours? No, I would trace that colour in Inkscape and then place on top of the image plane in blender and extrude out just a little? It seems like the logical choice for more ornate 3D shapes, no?
