Camera Mapping Made Easy! Making animations out of still images!
You may have heard of camera mapping, and maybe not, well you may be asking what is that? basically, what camera mapping means is that you grab a still shot or photo and make the camera move through it and it seems 3 dimensional, while it's not.
That's what we'll talk about today, it's really fun to do and open some great opportunities and creative ideas!, i'll post a video below to show a simple example of what you can do using this Addon of today, you will notice that i added a sphere to that road, and my camera is moving while that was just a still image, Before this addon, we had to do that manually, by selecting individual parts of the image, using photoshop or gimp, then making geometry and fitting it, creating emission materials for that, but that's not the case here, all you really have to do is make geometry, any basic sort of geometry, choose a picture and it will instantly get sticked to that image and you're ready to make your animations.
That was an example of what you can do, a moving example. something to put in mind is that you can't make deep movements because it will look a little bit "fake" or faker that it is,make sure to make slight movememnts so they do not get noticed.
