Image Plane 3D vs Projectors – Bringing Images into 3D
Use Camera Projection, attach images to 3D objects or use Image Plane 3D. Learn about the differences and apply the correct method in DaVinci Resolve & Fusion.
Understanding Materials
Attach materials to your Text3d or load 3D Models with textures. Use Blinn, Phong, Cook-Torrance, Ward and more.
