Hi . Im just starting to use blender , looked at a few tutorials on youtube and starting to get things going . What i now want to do is put my own head pictures into blender , front and side view . i can get them there but i havent got a scooby on how to line them up to be able to use . Looked up tutorials and cant find any to get me going so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks Andy
Hi Andy,
So there are a couple of things you can do. First Step would be taking very good pictures. I used blender very often in the past, every time i had to model faces or a Complete body i took Images of it with a Tripod from Every angle i needet. I think 2 pictures would be perfect for you, Front an Side. Now to the hard part, wich is Lining them both up so they fit. First step obviously, making 2 Screens in blender by using the little Triangle in the top right corner. Than we open the little “+” menu and scroll down to background. There should be options to move the Picture around. This in itself should be enough for you to jump right in and get going but i have an extra tip for you. Take a little bead or something with a good visible color and glue it to your Nosetip. Sounds bretty dump but you can line the dot to 0 in your first window and in the second one wich is side view you can do the same. Wich results in perfectly Lined up Pictures so you can get going. The more troublesome method is to move the whole model every time you need the other view. but i like the line up method more.
Hope i could help you somewaht, if so consider dropping some likes.
Best Regards,
