It doesn't work for me... Everything goes fine until I try to install the add-on. I click on "Install from File", but when I search fSpy nothing comes out, just the empty list.
I had the same issue, but it turned out I was trying to install the wrong file. Instead of downloading the whole Github repo from "Clone or download", go to github.com/stuffmatic/fSpy-Blender/releases, then download and install from the fSpy-Blender-1.0.3.zip file. It's only 5.3kb.
If you'll be using lines along an object in the scene like a corner of a building that is facing you in the scene, then there will be two vanishing points on either side where lines will converge. They may be out of frame, but they will be either side of the corner subject. Otherwise, if the lines converge in the middle of the frame, then choose 1 vanishing point.
I downloaded the Blender addon and was trying to fugure out why i couldnt use it, till i came apon your tutorial, which explained there is the main program you need to collect the camera data to import too Blender. Thank you so much.
lol, I'm literally trying to do it without Fspy for more than an hour, and then other video recommended myself to use Fspy. Finally I came here. Thanks
🤠Thank you so much for that thing at the end...kept on getting a a little tiny bit confused about that illusion thing....putting it against the wall... Major timesaver!
You are an absolute lifesaver man. :D Been searching for a guide like this for 3 days...That single vanishing point method worked for me like a charm. Thank You
Simple and efficient, thanks. I don't know if anything changed but for me I had to use X and -Z. Oh well. For the focal length I had big walls on my reference in the backgroud so I could tell while playing with the Z blue line if it's not straight enough on the sides, so I choose 50
Update to those of you who are having the issue of installing the zip file, head over to github.com/stuffmatic/fSpy-Blender/releases and download that file.
For some reason fspy has always been a mystery to me. I understand blender pretty good but fspy didn't make sense. That is until you explained it. Thank you.
I'm having trouble installing the addon. I can navigate to the .zip but my window is different, I don't have an "Install add-on from file" button, I only have an "Install Add-on" button on the bottom right. Clicking that doesn't seem to install it. Any help, please?
I had this same problem. How I got around it was adding it manually to the add-ons folder. C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons just drag and drop the folder into addons and it should show up.

RayneChecks it’s ridiculous that it’s 2020 and we can’t download a simple add on to a program lmfao like why do they have to make it so difficult?? I still can’t use it
@@mrfeathers3938 multiple file folders in add -ons folder.Erase it all and re download, restart computer too. Also good the problem i found the solution through a thread i think.
If you're using a Mac, make sure you download the .ZIP file. Macs are sometimes set to unpack and turn ZIPs into folders. If this happens, you can right-click the folder and recompress into .ZIP. Then install the add-on from that ZIP file
@@nickdandria Make sure you don't unzip it whatsoever. You want to install manually and then select the actual zip, still compressed. Blender will do it's magic usually
Really great tutorial. Can't wait to try out fSpy. I do have a question & thought about why stuff wasn't lining up properly- when you add your cube to your scene you move them down on the Z axis- shouldn't it be moved toward the camera on the Y-axis? By moving on the z you're basically positioning everything below the floor plane, thus why the lines don't line up perfectly. Especially when the cube is generated with part of its base below the floor plane.
My issue lies in fspy. I load up an image and it's always rotated to the wrong position. I couldn't find an option in the program that would cause it to rotate upon import. The image is not rotated heh. It makes lining up all the lines more difficult when my references are all 90 degrees rotated lol.
My blender can't see this addon, please help. I tried to refresh the add-ons tab and restarting blender. But i blender is showing me the message that i did something(i used the zip file)
Copy the "fspy_blender" folder (which comes inside the zip; this folder contains 3 .py files) to Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.0\3.0\scripts\addons
@@3dhobbyist296 I'm so dumb when it comes to this stuff. It took me half an hour and I was beginning to lose hope but thanks so much! I can finally get on with making stuff
Hey dude question here do you think is absolutely important to know the camera data when working with 1 point perspective ? Or guessing also works just fine?
For one point perspective you have to determine the focal length and (if image was manipulated) the principal point (btw - the principal point has to be determined for 2-point perspective as well in such a case). My tutorial on fSpy covers this if you’re interested: czcams.com/video/daiMOYR8GS8/video.html hope that helps
After importing the fspy file wouldn't it make sense to move the camera in Blender so that the floor of the the background image aligns with the grid floor in the scene? Or would this destroy the camera perspective again?
“For some reason it’s getting it wrong” Probably because it wants you to put it on the corners of the floor and roof. You got the roof, but you used a line above the floor corner.
I was wondering is ther anyway to use Fspy with Archipak or Arcimesh...so that exact dimensions of interior can be maintained. Problem i'm having is when I bring in fspy camera and start modeling, the height of the walls extruded on the x axis is enormously too large. Average height of real wall is 2.7 meters but ...I can seem to get fspy to maintain those measurements...Please help if you now of any workaround
When you go to the FSpy Blender addon github page, dont download the zip containing the source code. To the right of the source code click the link under Releases and download that.
Got it! There must be something wrong with your starting image. Open your original image with Gimp ( or any program by the like) and save it with another extension (the original was .PNG; I saved it as .jpg) avd use the new one. It solved the issue.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Do you have any ideas, how to do the same for the orthographic image? I am noob in blender, so I am sorry, if my question is stupid.
The picture (panorama)at 2:03 on the video, is that table mountain cause it looks like it and i live right in the next suburb from where this might have been taken and man aint it beautiful?
When I import the picture into blender its not lined up with the camera. About a fourth of the picture is down and left out of view of camera. Not sure how to adjust it. Also grid didn't line up either. It looked fine on fspy itself.
You can import fspy file to blender. Fspy not load a video (photo only). You must use blender tracking and aplly to fspy camera. Sorry but my english languange is bad.
I found the solution if you cant find the application icon when u download it you dont have to create another folder just skim through all the files until u find "fspy application" click on it and extract all and when u do you will find it when u scroll down😘
Whenever I import my fspy file into blender, my image becomes extremely distorted and pixelated almost corrupted. I haven't seen anyone else have this issue. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows why.. :(((
not much luck finding out my phone's sensor size .--. Everything else including focal lentgth is written in the picture description, and nobody lists sensor size on their phone camera's spec sheets since they're all small as is already :/...
He didn’t mention it but if you use 2 vanishing points Focal Length appears on the bottom of the right margin, click on the box. That gives the sensor size.
For 1-point perspective, as long as you have the vanishing point and principal point properly determined, it’s quite easy to figure out what the focal length is (I present it in my fSpy tutorial czcams.com/video/daiMOYR8GS8/video.html). For 2-point perspective it’s easy as long as the image hasn’t been cropped horizontally and the x coordinate of the principal point remains in the middle of the image. It’s enough to find the vertical position then which is quite simple
It doesn't work for me... Everything goes fine until I try to install the add-on. I click on "Install from File", but when I search fSpy nothing comes out, just the empty list.

Z is the depth axis not Y. Thus Z depth pass. But I am glad to see that this works even if you switch axis around in any direction.

if you go to the camera settings then opacity you will be able to adjust
GO TO CCAMERA SETTINGS > GO TO BACK GROUND IMAGES > THEN ADJUST THE OPACITY
“For some reason it’s getting it wrong”
Probably because it wants you to put it on the corners of the floor and roof. You got the roof, but you used a line above the floor corner.
