The Secret to Placing ANYTHING in 3D Perspective in GIMP

In this GIMP tutorial, I show you a simply but EXTREMELY effective trick to perfectly place objects and text in a 3D perspective. Plus, I show you how to add the texture from your photo to the object or text to make it look like it's painted on your 3D surface. This is a super simple technique using all built-in tools from GIMP.
GIMP is a free photo editor and photo manipulation software most similar to Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo.
I showcase the 3D transform tool and Bump Map filter in this tutorial. You can catch the full, in-depth lecture on the 3D transform tool in my GIMP 2.10 Masterclass linked below.

    Thanks, Davies, for a well done tutorial. No background music or gimmicks! Love that. "Just the facts, ma'am." A 1950s reference from the TV show Dragnet. LOL I am a 70 yr old artist. I have been with Adobe Photoshop since the first release. Recently, they and Microsoft, have disappointed me greatly with changes in their policies regarding support. I have always had GIMP, but haven't paid much attention to the software until now. I have been going through withdrawals regarding Adobe for a few weeks, and now you have converted me. The same thing happened with Maya and 3D Studio Max. Now I use Blender and Daz. I am building a new upgraded workstation. The last one was well over $10,000.00. At some point I am going to sign up for your master class. I also have the Affinity Suite. I like it as well. Thanks again, I'm watching.

    Thank you for the hint to Affinity Suite. Seems like a alternative to the Adobe universum the DTP business was - and maybe still is - in like I was. I made my first steps in Gimp. The key function and shortcuts are quite unusual and I`m searching most of the time. No fun but... Servus

    @@haraldmuethel7546 After using Affinity for a while now, I will admit that Adobe Photoshop, to my knowledge, is still the best photo editing software available to the general public. I do miss it. That might be because I am more familiar with the Photoshop app. I think the developers at Affinity, used the Adobe apps to design their software. They are to similar. I just don't like bullies, and that includes the corporate world. Microsoft is behind it!!!

(I have similar problems creating a curved path on which to put text - none of the online tutorials work for me). 2 - my other Q about when the vanishing point is outside the original image has been answered!

    Awesome! If I use the Eraser on the question mark layer I would get an even better result so that it doesn't look like there are black lines on the picture, instead, I would actually delete it from the areas where it shouldn't show. Right?

  • @DaviesMediaDesign

    2 жыл бұрын

    I believe the black lines are because I added the photo layer at the top and put a layer mode on it to blend it with the layers below. You'd want to also add a layer mask to this layer and paint out the same areas.

  • @multymu17

    Hi Davies, good explained tutorial! Thank you for your time and services. One think I notice is that the perspective is not a real perspective. The "Far ratio" of the symbol image, is not smaller than the closer portion. As you look at the Pier, you can see the perspective look on it. The symbol should match the same perspective look. For that the it should be adjusted with the "Perspective tool" just a little. Just a thought!

  • @DaviesMediaDesign

    @DaviesMediaDesign

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hey Ed - the far end of the symbol is in fact adjusted to be smaller and to match the perspective of the pier. It's just a bit of an optical illusion because the top of the question mark is larger than the bottom in the original symbol/text. But, if you look closely, the top shrinks significantly during the transformation to match the perspective of the photo.

    @@DaviesMediaDesign Agreed. Try doing the same thing with a "H" instead of a "?" and it becomes clear that the perspective is perfect. The Perspective tool, on the other hand, is more difficult to manage - guidelines are not enough and you need to do some calculations to avoid losing the aspect ratio of the text.

    You could create a new layer that is much larger than the image, then go to View>Show All to show the layer boundary outside the image boundary. Finally, perform the steps as sequenced in this tutorial.
