In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create an accurate camera in Maya using fSpy. fSpy is an open source software for still image camera matching made by Stuffmatic, which allows you to match the camera position, field of view, and focal length of a photograph to use in your 3D scene. In this guide, I'll cover a few basic tips to use fSpy effectively.
If you don't already have fSpy installed, you can download it for free from the fSpy website: fspy.io/.
Additionally, I've created a custom fSpy for Maya Python script that you can download from the link here: kurtbernardin.gumroad.com/l/f....
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced Maya user, this tutorial will help you to create more realistic and accurate scenes by using fSpy to match your camera position and settings.
For a more in-depth understanding of fSpy, take a look at @bpampuch tutorial here: • BEST way to use fSpy |...

Worked like a charm! No more struggling with the crooked native fSpy export to Maya which doesn't work at all

@KurtBernardin 4 месяца назад

Glad it worked for you. To my knowledge, there is no native fSpy export to Maya. Trying to copy and paste the values from fSpy directly to Maya would never work due to it requiring some math to convert it to properly.

Thx a lot for the plugins

@murray-xr7pl Год назад

Thank you so much for this! It worked fine mostly, the only issue I had was the camera and the image plane got imported far away from the base point, but I was able to just move it closer towards my scene and rearrange it a bit and the perspective was still nicely in place.

@KurtBernardin Год назад

I'm glad it you found it helpful. At 2:30 in the video, I covered how to get your origin point set where you want. Are you saying you did this and it didn't work?

@murray-xr7pl Год назад

@@KurtBernardin Yes I did put it on the ground

@KurtBernardin Год назад

@@murray-xr7pl It appears like I may be missing an attribute related to the principal point from fspy that isn't translating correctly to Maya. I'm currently trying to figure out what's missing.

I can confirm that this works in Maya 2024, however to anyone who is not used to using custom scripts, make sure to click the MEL button right before the script command prompt line to switch it to Python. I was wondering why this wasn't running for 10 to 20 minutes until I decided to look up "Using Custom Scripts" and had another tutorial highlighting that Python (not MEL) needs to be enabled.

@user-sg6wp1zh8w 3 месяца назад

Where is this button? Is it in the script editor?

@ddankhazi 7 месяцев назад

In Maya for correct color management, I recommend to add these lines to the python script: 1. after this line: cmds.setAttr(image_plane+'.depth',imagePlane_depth) add: cmds.setAttr(image_plane+'.colorSpace', 'sRGB', type='string') cmds.setAttr(image_plane+'.ignoreColorSpaceFileRules', 1) 2. after this line: cmds.setAttr(projection_fileNode+'.fileTextureName',image_path,type='string') add: cmds.setAttr(projection_fileNode+'.ignoreColorSpaceFileRules', 1) cmds.setAttr(projection_fileNode+'.colorSpace', 'sRGB', type='string') Cheers, D

@KurtBernardin 7 месяцев назад

@ddankhazi Thank you for this! I didn't even think about color settings when I set this up. I went ahead and updated the script with this code.

@Cr381v3 9 месяцев назад

To everyone that is struggling to get an accurate result: It is very important that you set the correct focal length, otherwise the scene can differ by several units and also be misaligned/tilted

@shiveshchauhan7296 Год назад

Hi Kurt, Can you provide some steps to install the fspy plufgin in maya ? I am trying the same procedure that one uses to install the plugin in maya but it is not opening after I add it to the shelf. I am using Maya 2022

@KurtBernardin Год назад

Hello Shivesh, the typical default place on your computer would be a maya folder within your documents, mine looks like this C:\Users\KurtB\Documents\maya. From here you can make a "scripts" folder and place the .py file in this folder. Alternatively, you can open the "2022/scripts" folder and place it there. The difference between the two is having scripts dedicated to a version number vs being useable for multiple versions. Folders would look like either of these: C:\Users\KurtB\Documents\maya\scripts C:\Users\KurtB\Documents\maya\2022\scripts Lastly, you should be able to run this Python code within the script editor: import kb_fSpy_camera_maya as fSpyCam fSpyCam.fSpyCameraImporter_UI() If anything isn't correct, it should give you some sort of error message in the script editor.

@Tubbs935 4 месяца назад

How do you set up multiple cameras with different angles of the object im trying to make ?

@KurtBernardin 4 месяца назад

This software is used to line-up a single image. I suppose you could line-up multiple individual images, but you would have to match those cameras to one another manually.

@maxlazzarin8417 4 месяца назад

Hi Kurt, thank you for creating this tool! I just tried 2 different images. They are fairly close but definitely not accurate enough compared to what I'm seeing in Fspy, they both have wider angles of view. Do you have any thoughts as to why this would happen?

@maxlazzarin8417 4 месяца назад

UPDATE: I got it working, The issue comes into play when you use the 'from 3rd vanishing point' option as your principal point, Every tweak I made with the Z axis points would skew the 3d guide greatly, the littlest adjustment would throw things off. The approach that worked for me was using the 'image midpoint ' principle point, especially if your Y axis has very little perspective change from top to bottom.

@KurtBernardin 4 месяца назад

@@maxlazzarin8417 I'm glad you brought this up. I recall seeing this same issue related when image midpoint is not used and was unable to find the best approach to translate this into the auto shader that gets generated. I would love to hear if you end up figuring out something I missed!

@_fom1n 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the video! I do have trouble when importing into Maya, camera just doesn't match and that midpoint is off as well. However works great in blender (same file). Any clue where it needs extra care when it comes to maya (....as always). In fact when I export from Blender to Maya it also works so not sure. Cheers!

@KurtBernardin 2 месяца назад

It's possible I missed a few key variables to make it transfer 1 to 1. I've noticed a few little issues that leads to this not always working. I'll have to take a look to see if I forgot to include the midpoint and try to figure out how to input that into the maya camera.

@@KurtBernardin Other times importing camera from Blender to maya doesn't really work either. But I think I found a solution that works, however it might need some further testing. Here’s how I fixed it: 1. Use the Angle Number from fSpy: Find the angle number under "Camera Orientation" in fSpy. 2. Set the Film Aspect Ratio in Maya: Input this angle number in Maya under the "Film Aspect Ratio" setting (in the camera's attributes that you import from Blender). 3. Adjust Fit Resolution Gate: In Maya, tweak the "Fit Resolution Gate" setting. For me, "Overscan" usually works best. Hope this helps someone!

@amitnegi8771 Год назад

hey i dont get any problem while importing scripts but the only problem i faced is the camera i imported is far away from the grid and when i started blocking it overlap the reference picture and half of the overlap mesh hide.please tell me the solution for it , btw great video it helped a lot.

You can select the image plane and change the “depth” value which is the distance of the image plane to the camera.

I don't think I ever tested this script with Maya 2020. It's possible that it does not work for that reason. Maya updated to python 3 on version 2022 I believe. I don't currently have 2020 installed so I'll have to install and test when I have time.
