Using the alpha setting when importing the image will maintain that transparency.Īlso worth noting, there are a variety of position settings useful for orienting and positioning the image in the scene. The images used are trees cut out on a transparent background. For instance, say you wanted to layer in some trees in the background of your scene, but since they are in the distance you decide to use image planes to save on render time. The “Use Alpha” checkbox is useful for using PNG files that have transparency. The “Emit” setting will cause your image to cast light into your scene.

Selecting “Shadeless” will remove that effect, leaving the image flat and non-reflective. “Diffuse” is selected by default, which means the plane will be affected by light and shadow in your render. Generally speaking, the most used settings are the Material settings. When you click File > Import > Import Images as Planes, you will see the settings tab in the right panel. There are a few options to keep in mind when importing an image. This is very similar to adding reference images to your scene, though with this method, the plane can be rendered by default. The image will now be in the scene, editable and moveable like any other plane or object. Navigate to the image file you wish to add, select it and click Import Images as Planes in the top right. Once this add-on is installed, click File > Import > Images as Planes.
