amazing video! the way you speak ensuring that no one takes your steps as a mandatory tutorial but as a learning of concepts and the workflow is very cool. I love ur channel
Thanks, Lucas! Each situation is different and I find it hard to make a tutorial when there are many variables like that. Your comment was right on point. Cheers!
@@LearnUpstairs I thank you for your videos, they are always about very pertinent discussions, they make me really want to sit and talk to you about it for hours
Littre pro tip about the Match Photo tool on Sketchup that will make it WAY EASIER to align perspective and resize the model more precisely and efficiently (without zooming back and forth like on the video): Before launching the tool, place the model' axes (Axes Tool icon on the main toolbar) on the corner of an element that will appear both on your model AND the matched picture (by example, the left-bottom side corner of the facade of the project building: this point is shared with the right-bottom side corner of the existing white building which has 4 bowed windows. It could also be the right-bottom side corner of the project building, shared with the left-bottom side corner of the blue building on the foreground.) Then, when resizing with the grips on the Match Photo tool, this point will be used as its reference and reduce considerably the deformations and misplacements of the model that you could encounter with an offscreen axes reference! Also, you may find useful that it is often quite difficult to match a model with a strongly-curved perspective caused by a fisheye / wide angle lens.
Aprendi de forma tão simples sobre pós produção nos teus vídeos, inclusive apliquei tais aprendizados no meu TCC e tirei 10. Continue com esse trabalho maravilhoso e impecável!
Nice video! I never got the hang of the match photo tool, but then again: This is the first time I see someone use that scaling through use of the axes in a video. Instead of rendering and re-rendering til you have the position perfect, you can save time by just exporting the 2D image, and then maybe even linework only to see the match with the photo even more clearly. A lot faster, and possibly clearer / more precise.
Hey Eelco, great tip! I usually do this step with a render to start seeing how if the shadows, materials, and other rendering settings are working fine against the drone photo. But I only do that if the model is quick to render. But definitely a lot faster to do with a 2D image or even lines, especially if you don't have a strong computer. And the match photo tool is a bit strange indeed, I feel Photoshop's perspective grid tool is easier to work with.
great tutorial video! To make it easier to match the photo in sketchup. you can setup axes before matching with foto. So it will be easier to pick vanishing point and u dont have to scroll out and u can match the foto more precise, without editing in photoshop. If u edited axes to the corner of blue building, then later in match photo u put the origin of axes at the same place, you could have more accured match.
Happy to know that, Zaki! Because I aim to make an informative video, but more than that an enjoyable experience as well. So thank you for the feedback 🙏
@@LearnUpstairs well the thumbnail picture matches my personal style more too, but right now I try to improve my rendering skills. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work
for final project in univ, friend of mine purposely find a site near the skybridge so you could take a shot that overlooking your site, so you don't need to use drone all the time. Skybridge also a city's landmark that could give extra point for architecture visualization. In the end, try always find either mandmade or natural highground.
I love your content ! Just want to say that I've been looking for a tutorial idk for how long on how to place your project on a site perspective/drone view. Your awesome, and I can finally learn how todo it rather than feel hopeless. thanks again for your channel !!
Thanks, Abdias! Before I tested and discovered this workflow, I too was looking endlessly over youtube/google to find a tutorial about that. Hopefully, lots of people can benefit from this video!
HEY its a nice video. But you can easier match the perspective from render- the only thing you need to do, is just select "viewport" in aspect ratio settings in vray. Because if you will not- vray cam and sketchup viewport has different angle view.
Loved this tutorial! I pretty much keep messing up my blending in such important perspectives! May we have a blending tutorial like the last steps you did in this video, please? Thank you again Oliver! 👌✨
For sure Duaa! As I said in the video, it really depends on your project and image. But I guess we could do a mini guide on a few possible situations you might encounter. Thanks for the feedback!
Me too! 😅 The preview image was done using a Hue and Saturation adjustment layer on top to colorize the building and another to desaturate the city. But that effect can only be achieved if the "normal" style was done correctly
I usually have to manipulate these kind of renders so that they fit into an existing photo, so I usually do have a slightly different approach. Instead of using match photo, I would use watermark in SketchUp’s style. Just import the original image as a watermark, choose the correct position and scale (Edit: oh, and lower the transparency), and then try to match the model to the photo. When you render, render it with the same resolution with the photo, so that when you import into Photoshop, little editing and scaling is needed.
I've never thought of this method! It sounds that it relies a bit more on one's intuition, but I should definitely try it out one day. My only concern is that some photos have perspectives that can't really be achieved with Sketchup's default views or I guess so. Thanks for sharing that with us, Vũ Duy Hưng!
@@LearnUpstairs the problems with field of view (FOV for short) can be fixed using Match Photo function. if you encounter this problem, just try match photo (it doesn't need to be THAT accurate), and it would give you an idea of what FOV to use. typically it would range from 35 to around 50 or 60, rarely going up to 80 or 90. once the FOV is resolved, the model would align the perspective by itself
Wow! I really like this kind of tutorial! Thanks for your clear information. I was a bit wondering does Rhino has the same method or command to match the photo?
Helpful video, I didn't know how to place my model on a perspective photo. Also, those photos which you imported them to photoshop, you got them from vray, right?
@@emretoruk7067 oh right! Those are called Render Elements. Most rendering engines have this feature. You just need to enable them before rendering. And you can choose what type of "channels" you want, like Material, Depth, Normals and so on Depending on what version of Vray you have, it's located in a different place. So my suggestion is to google Render Elements to find how to enable them
I would like to see this done with a starting point in Revit also. There is nothing to help the model match the photo in Revit and the process is arduous. Are there any tips you can show us about this?
Hey Paltheus, I'm not a Revit user, I'm more into Archicad, but I agree with you. These programs are not as easy to match a photo as in software specific for 3D. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to help you with that. Sorry!
Amazing video thank you so much! Too bad I don't know a guy with a drone 😂 could you make a video about how to do this with Google earth pro or is there a better free software? I know it would be a similar process but like your Google Street View video to make it all look much more real and higher quality. Thank you!
I bet you know a friend who has a friend who has a friend that'd take those photos 😂 Drones are getting so mainstream nowadays. But for sure! I can make something with google earth pro. The only thing is that not all cities have lots of buildings modeled with high quality, plus you can't get the same camera angle. It has to be further away. Now Google Street View doesn't work that well because of the camera position, usually, it's too close to the building facades.
Hey Musa, I don't use any extensions with the exception of the Topaz Labs Plugin, which is that filter I apply at the end to boost contrast and punch in more details. I highly recommend checking it out 😀
thank you so much for this vid, I was wondering if i wanted to practice this on a random site is there pics I can search for on google to place my model on? if there are, can anyone tell me what to exactly search for because I honestly haven't been getting the result i want from searching
@@LearnUpstairs I didnt understand. What i want just like vfx artist match the background and subject using camera projection and project the camera images in a simple cube with major extrusion. I saw something in blender where they just added a cube, make couple of extrusion, apply some textures and this is it. Also make ground as a shadow catcher material to receive realtime shadow. They also captured some photos to use it as a backplate. I didnt mean you do something exact but what we want to know if some similar thing can be done to show the client a realistic animation of his home with surrounding.
Hey Brian, yes it would but not in the same camera angle. For this work with a google earth image you'd have be much further away than this. And obviously the city in study has to have a high level of detail in Google earth. I might do a video on that in the future, but the workflow is very similar
Excelente, Oliver. Uma coisa que é interessante ressaltar, é que segundo o manual do sketchup, eles recomendam não dar crop na imagem antes de fazer o photomatch (não sei o motivo); Mas... pra que serve a banana?
Fala Fabio! Sério? Não sabia disso, obrigado por compartilhar! Eu acabei cropando a imagem porque o restante do terreno estava ficando um pouco distorcido. E também porque queria realmente focar na entrada do projeto. Mas com certeza vou testar mais afundo isso na próxima vez. A banana adiciona uma placa de video extra no PC 😂 bricandeiras a parte, é só um ícone do "edit toolbar" do photoshop
É que tem lentes e lentes né, se a foto foi tirada com uma grande angular ou lentes que tem em algum grau o efeito das “fish eye” pode ser melhor cortar so a parte de interesse mesmo
Vray and Photoshop should probably start paying you... As u are making people stay with out jumping to the competent lumion 😂... Also when can we expect lumion workflow from u!?
Hey Vishnu, maybe someday, right? 😂 Imagine a sponsor from PS and Vray? The Lumion workflow is coming! But not so soon I'm afraid. I'm finalizing a contract for some commissioned work later next month. And that work will involve Lumion, which is what I'm planning to share here with you guys. I find it best to have a real situation where I applied what I learned, rather than create something just for a video. But who knows, I might create something earlier.
@@LearnUpstairsgreat. Not making videos for the sake of views.. I've never seen any other UA-camer who's so honest and committed to viewers like u...❤️
You mean the reflection? I simply duplicated the background image, placed it above the render, mirrored it horizontally, and applied a mask to reveal only where the glass is. Oh and drop the opacity so that it feels like a reflection. This is doesn't work in all situations, nor is really correct to do that. But at least the glass doesn't stay flat and get some interest. Now, if you're talking about the transparency, that is done over the rendering software. Use a default Glass material that comes with the render engine.
