Good stuff, never mind the dumbass comments. Thanks for poasting!

Twist your mic to somewhere under your chin to get rid of sharpness and breathing. It'll pick up your voice well enough.

[dhorrorpt]

how do i get it in ortho view? plz help!

[lovetoplay94]

@dhorrorpt Toggle 5 on you Numpad

[spacelion88]

@dhorrorpt 5 doesn't work on my computer...might be because I am using a laptop. But you can just go down to VIEW in the bottom left and select toggle views-ortho/perspective.

[charlieoughton01]

@dhorrorpt you go to view then ortho view

[xDaeK1]

Uhmm lol i can see the picture only with the top and bottom view. Does it affect anything, like make it different? Or i can just do the job like that.

[lovetoplay94]

@xDaeK1 Check the settings you have, toggle N and under Background image make sure that the axis you have isn't set to top or bottom view.

[xDaeK1]

Uhmm i press Numpad 5 and still i cant see the background image tbh im pretty frustruated, and its in PNG format.

[octeentv]

Ortho mode won't work

[lovetoplay94]

@octeentv all i can tell you is toggle 5, maybe your Numpad is locked. And make sure you're toggling the Numpad not the numbers on top of your keyboard.

[rritchiepim]

well done im a rookie and i watched like 10 tutorials and could not see my background image, thats because everyone failed to mention the ortho view. thanks i was going crazy jaja keep up the good work

[masterflipper1]

Thanks for this tutorial!

[DrJakeStein]

Correction: Numpad 5

[nikezoomflight]

I can't open any of the files I have saved on my laptop? what to do?

[lovetoplay94]

@nikezoomflight First make sure that they are the correct format for Blender, and try moving them to your Documents folder, because Blender by default has that as a bookmark. Or you could try to type in the file path yourself, ex. C:\User\MyPictures\Picnic. Hope this helps!

[4NAWSIDE4]

i have a mac and i can seem to find the picture i download i now where it is but it doesnt seem to appear

[lovetoplay94]

@4NAWSIDE4 It could be that Blender doesn't support that image format, so you could try importing it into GIMP and exporting it as PNG, which is the best format I think to use because JPG degrades the image. Hope this helps!

[wonderboy62585]

@4NAWSIDE4 I had this same problem. you have to be in ortho view to see the BG image, so hit 5.

i appreciate this tutorial and the detail.
