In this episode, Cameron continues working on the apartment remodel project, by modeling another piece of furniture using only a photograph and one measurement as reference. It takes some patience at first, but it saves so much time in the long run!

It was exactly the info I needed! Thank you very much! Your podcasts are great and you are a very gifted teacher:)
very good episode
Thanks
Excellent presentation, especially about the pitfalls of Photo Match (I navigated after creating a model and lost it). One suggestion: the black bookcase made it difficult to see what you were doing with guidelines, rectangles, aligning axes, etc. Maybe redo with a white bookcase photo.
One thing to watch. All compact cameras distort photos in a sort of fish eye manner. Unless you correct that first, matching the photo will be difficult. Take a straight on photo of something square such as a window and use photo editing software to adjust it until it looks straight. Then remember those settings for any photos you take. Make sure to never use the zoom as this is what effects the distortion in the first place.
Manfred Knorr thank you. I was trying to do this with photos from a real estate website, but was having trouble with alignment. Now it makes sense that there is probably distortion from the wide angle lens they used.
When to texture and when not question. if you wanted the items to be displayed on the shelf instead of an empty shelf, would you chosen another way of doing this? The reason I am asking is I am looking at building some houses and cars and trains. Do you want to model say a door handle or just let the photo match do that for you?
TIP: first group, then use paint bucket, all your faces will be the same color ;)
Nice tut!
ive been trying to model over a photo of a rear tail light of a car using this Technics been very hard to get it to work i think it work best with square item rather than curved item. the problem is with the orientation my object always fall below the green axis
Can a model be intergrated into a compositing effects software, for example After Effects for film?
btw its "IKEA: Expedit" ...
I am not sure why I would ever use that tool. I looked to me to be easier to get out a tape measure and do it from scratch. There is a house down the street I really like but I'm not going to walk up to the home of someone I don't know and take a measurement. Still - as always nicely produced.
it is usefull when you hve complex designs you dont have to measure everything ....like curve
The situation you cite is the one where I would be most likely to use it. The measurement information is limited, but there is probably something such as an entrance door or a garage door from which measurements can be inferred.
Why do you sound like Leonard Snart? lol
Really thanks for informing me sir
This feature is a bit disappointing. The software should be able to detect lines and infer guidelines and perhaps even axes automatically so you can just snap to points in the photo. And of course the texturing is so sad it's practically unusable.
