Панель Properties.#
This add-on imports images and creates planes with them as textures. It automates the process of creating a plane, resizing it to fit the dimensions of the image, and creating a material with the image texture to it. The name of the plane, material, and texture will be derived from the name of the image file.
You can import a single image, multiple images, or an image sequence/movie clip. If you choose a single image, it creates one plane; if you choose multiple images, it creates as many planes as the number of images you selected, either stacked on top of each other or spaced apart. Selecting a movie clip or an image sequence will create a single plane with an animation.
Properties – Властивості#
You can save the current import settings as an Operator Preset.
Import Options – Опції Імпорту#
- Relative Path – Відносний Шлях
Set link to the image file using a relative file path.
- Force Reload – Присилуване Перезавантаження
Reload the image file if it already exists as an image data-block.
- Animate Image Sequences – Анімовані Послідовності Зображень
Import sequentially numbered images as an animated image sequence instead of separate planes. They will be imported as a Clip texture on a single plane. The frame range will be automatically set but can be changed later.
Compositing Nodes – Вузли Компонування#
- Setup Corner Pin – Уклад Куткової Шпильки
Add a compositing setup of the Image Texture, Scale, and Corner Pin nodes to inject a warped view of the image into the compositor output. The add-on adds drivers to the corner values of the Corner Pin node so that transforms of the plane and camera drive them. Make sure to have an active camera in the scene before the import.
Примітка
You may want to disable the plane object from the final render to prevent it from overlapping the image in the composite.
Material Settings – Устави Матеріалів#
Images as Planes sets up a material to display the image. You can set the type of material and related settings before the import.
- Material Type
- Principled – Принципове:
The material will have a Principled BSDF shader node with default settings as its main component. An Image Texture node linked to the imported image will be connected to the Base Color of the Principled BSDF node.
- Shadeless – Безвідтінково:
A shadeless material is a material that does not respond to light from other objects and always has the same color in any lighting environment. This option creates a material with a node group of a mix between a Diffuse and an Emission shader controlled by a Light Path node.
- Emit – Емітування:
The material will have a Principled BSDF shader node as its main component, but the Color output from the Image Texture node will be linked to the Emission input instead of the Base Color.
- Strength – Сила
Set the strength of the emission.
Примітка
Blend Mode and Shadow Mode options are specific to the EEVEE renderer. For a detailed explanation of each option, see Material Settings.
- Blend Mode – Режим Змішання
Set the alpha blend mode of the material.
- Show Backface
Show backside of the transparent part.
- Shadow Mode
Set the shadow mode of the material.
- Backface Culling – Відкидання Тилу
Hide backside of the plane.
- Overwrite Material
The add-on sets the name of the new material from the name of the imported image. However, if there is already a material with the same name, Blender will append a number to the name of the material to avoid conflict. This Override Material option makes it overwrite the existing material of the same name in that case.
Texture Settings – Устави Текстур#
Примітка
For a detailed explanation of each option, see Image Texture Node.
- Interpolation – Інтерполяція
Set the method to scale the image.
- Extension – Розширення
Set how the image is extrapolated past the original bounds.
- Use Alpha – Вжиття Альфа
Use the alpha channel of the image for transparency.
- Auto Refresh – Авто Освіження
Automatically refresh the images in the viewport on frame changes.
Position – Позиція#
Images as Planes creates the plane at the 3D Cursor’s location. With Offset Planes, multiple planes will be placed with distance intervals set in Offset, along the axis set in Local Axis, beginning at the 3D Cursor’s location.
- Offset Planes – Зсув Площин
Place multiple planes with an offset. If disabled, all planes will be created at the same location.
- Local Axis – Локальна Вісь
Choose a local axis (not the global axis) to offset the planes. For example, if you choose X+, the planes will be placed along the positive direction of the plane’s local X axis.
- Offset – Зсув
Set a distance between each plane.
Plane Dimensions – Розмірності Площин#
Set how the plane’s size will be determined.
- Absolute – Абсолютно
The size of the plane will be set based on the height value set in Height. The width will be set in direct ratio to the height value. For example, with the default height value of 1 m, an image of 800 × 600 pixels will have a width of 1 / 600 × 800 or 1.33 m.
- Height – Висота
Set the height of the plane.
- Camera Relative – Відносно Камери
The size of the plane will be set to fit or fill the camera frame. This will automatically set the Align option to Face Camera. Make sure to have an active camera in the scene before the import.
- Fit – Припасування:
Scale the plane to fit inside the camera frame while preserving the aspect ratio.
- Fill – Заповнення:
Scale the plane so that it fills the entire camera view while preserving the aspect ratio, but some part of the image can spill outside the camera frame.
- DPI
The size of the plane will be set based on the pixels per inch value set in Definition. With the Unit System set to Metric and the default definition of 600 DPI, an image of 800 × 600 pixels will have a size of 0.0339 × 0.0254 units since 600 pixels are defined as 1 inch (0.0254 m).
- Definition – Визначення
Set the number of pixels to fit in 1 inch.
- Dots/BU – Точки/Одиниця Blender
The size of the plane will be set based on the pixels per Blender Unit set in Definition. With the default definition value of 600, an image of 800 × 600 pixels will have a size of 1.33 × 1 units.
- Definition – Визначення
Set the number of pixels to fit in 1 Blender Unit.
Orientation – Орієнтація#
- Align – Вирівняння
Set the rotation of the plane.
- Main Axis – Головна Вісь:
The plane will be aligned to a major axis that is best to face the camera’s view direction. If there is no camera in the scene, the plane will face toward Z+ (Up) axis.
- Face Camera – Передом до Камери:
Similar to the Main Axis but the plane will be rotated to directly face the camera’s view direction.
- Z- (Down), Y-, X-, Z+ (Up), Y+, X+:
The plane will be rotated to face toward the selected axis.
- Track Camera – Відстеження Камери
Add a Locked Track constraint to make the plane always face the camera, even if the camera moves. This option is only available when Main Axis or Face Camera option is selected in the Align menu.
