How to use OBS Studio with 3D Overlays (Free Download)

hey guys got level here and it's 2024 and I've been thinking about different ways of displaying stuff on screen when it comes to live streaming we've seen overlays regular overlays we've seen images videos we've even seen 3D overlays really because I made videos about uh polypop polypop is a broadcasting software that runs on a 3D engine so that's the 3D for you but today I want to talk about using an actual 3D software to do some renders and then how we will basically fit the 3D aspect of something like OBS Studio to the 3D image or video so this is not a tutorial or anything this is basically me taking out loud and uh sharing that with you let me show you what I'm talking about so here's a scene that I created in blender 3D and basically I blocked out the space just like I would if I was making a 2d overlay so this is going to be an intermission screen this is where the webcam should go approximately and on the right side I have those three bars that are going to be like labels bars so recent subscriber recent follower and stuff like that and then I put this spot up top here for the chat don't pay attention to the little capsule things uh it's just decoration so so with a software like this I have the advantage of of course being able to move around and have all sorts of angles the question is once I bring this to OBS how am I going to match everything also of course I'm going to have like pretty good graphics this is um just for the textures if we put the EV rendering so this is me working in real time and I can set a bunch of stuff I can even set this to cycles and I should get a more accurate rendering that looks a little bit better anyways I already went ahead and actually rendered a couple of images and this is what they look like so this is with d noising so it's extra smooth I actually don't like it because I didn't put a lot of time into the textur so they look a little too soft I actually like when it has noise just like this okay so I can have effects like depth of field and stuff like that my emitters so my my light materials are actually like affecting everything around it anyways there's ways to have really really cool renderings but also having different angles I think that's the most important part that we're going to see today is how I would make it so that I have multiple angles so let's open up obs and set that up so let me go ahead and create a brand new scene let's call it 3D overlay now we're going to add those images of course those are just images so we add them as an image source we go find where we have it saved and for the flat one it would be super simple right if you're using something like stream elements for your alerts and labels you can actually already upload this directly to stream elements would you like this let me okay I will upload this I will upload those images so you can get them okay check out the link in the description there will be an imager album with those images so if you want to use this actually for your stream you can do that so in stream elements I could probably create a new overlay 1080p resolution Press Start um we can click plus add static Custom Image set the image upload it or just drag and drop it and just like that I don't know why it's not showing oh my God stream elements oh okay I refreshed the page and it appeared you can decide to do this separately basically you can have uh your labels on a separate browser source and your chat on a separate browser Source or you can do as I did here upload the image and just add things directly so that's basically the browser Source method your stream chat for example I would probably place this here and then find to be fair I probably wouldn't do that I I hate doing this but you can do this and then delete the image so that you have a 1080p browser source that already has everything you need recent followers latest follower nice I don't like doing this because working in this stream elements editor is kind of a nightmare I want the option to add individual filters to those things so I would probably literally create an overlay for each one of them an overlay for my chat an overlay for my labels and then I would add the rest in OBS Studio as a browser Source if you don't use stream elements basically it's the same thing you just copy the browser Source from streamlabs and if you use something else then well I don't know what to tell you uh it's called Starfield chat I'm not sure that's my main chat but let's copy it and let's add it so plus browser Source chat boom bang play around with the size and pray that it works okay I hate how this looks save it now I can add a new browser Source then play around with this size boom we got it so I would set it like this and just for the sake of tutorial I'm just going to duplicate this all right pretend that this text is correct okay and I would probably add my camera here oh hi t i I would definitely right click and flip it now depending on what effect I want to have cuz obviously this doesn't fit perfectly I would probably just make it fit as much as I can we're actually going to crop it and then we'll add a Shader filter plug in to round the bottom side of the rectangle or we can do a full rounded rectangle if we wanted to something I probably should have done when I rendered this is add a just a plane that would represent exactly where the webcam is just so that it could cast a shadow so the webcam would really look like it's part of the scene right our Shader filter is not going to take into account the cropping so we need to put this in a group let's group it cam group nice now let's go filter again Shader filter plugin for this watch my other videos on it userdefined Shader load Shader from text file and we want one of those rounded rectangle something rounded rectangle per side that is precisely what I want so Corner radius bottom oh never mind this is working okay cool all right so let's say I want this 52 and this one also at 52 there you go of course uh there's the drop shadow plugin I believe nutty just made a video about one check it out and yeah this is how I would fit it and just like that you have an overlay of course you would be more meticulous you would probably add a scroll filter to this like this filters scroll boom boom horizontal speed just a little bit what that look like that looks good nice and you would probably call it a day okay this looks pretty decent again those images will be free uh check them in the description now let's say that I have an image that is not flat like that cuz cool OBS is like allowing us to do all this right this is easy easy let's uh switch the image so I'm going to double click click browse and we're going to pick one of those that one really like that one this is where as you can see it it becomes immediately less friendly in a way I'm going to start by grouping up all three of those labels I don't know if that's an a good idea yet but let's just do it all three of them right click call them labels all right so they're together now and I can add a filter to this group I can move the chat out of the way and we're going to start with the camera cuz I believe it's one of the most obvious ones again we're going to use the Shader filter plugin for that you can duplicate the one you already have and switch out the the text or just add a new one boom bam probably name them load load and uh yeah what is it corner pin I don't remember what it's called corner pin right there so this is the corner pin with just the values which I don't do not like and then there's the corner pin underneath that with a dash instead of an underscore and this is with the sliders I'm all about the sliders baby so top left what are you doing okay we just need to place this where we want it to be and we're going to scale it up we might even scale it up even more just to make sure that everything is covered so basically anywhere you might want your pixels to go is covered within the boundaries of where the webcam is let's do that so left x-axis here y AIS there let's go to bottom left while we're at it okay okay so where eyeballing is by the way nice okay okay okay so far so good where's my top right okay top right y so I'll admit you need to maybe have an eye for perspective but that's all it takes that's all you need this is definitely one of those Tinker with it until it seems right I'm making a tutorial I'm going to go fast I'm actually not going to use this for my stream at least not for now but I'm testing the concept you know I think that's pretty cool I have um vignette effect on my camera which is why you're seeing a little bit of transparency here I don't dislike it though all right now same thing for the chat filters except we're going to go that side user defined Shader and rounded rectangle no wait and corner pin corner dash pin sure it's covering everything I guess the advantage of using stream elements here is that you can change the theme of the chat to have a solid background you know that effect that we all love click save and now we just have to place a big rectangle doesn't really have to be perfect go back to custom chat save again and just like that it works finally you want to do the same thing for the labels hopefully putting them together was worth it corner pin this might be a little difficult because of the transparency but we're going to make it work oh and I believe we did it now there's going to be visibility issues you might be like oh we can't really read the chat or blah blah blah but it's a concept it's a concept and I think it looks pretty decent now keeping in mind that blender is well the software that I use here can also do animations the only thing you need to be wary of is if any of your animation of whatever you rendered has to be on top of your obs layers then it's better to have it on a separate transparent layer you know what I mean I made sure that the capsules are not on top of this even though you can see it here I made sure that that capsule over there is not covering the text right anyways again just a concept I might work on it and actually come up with better 3D looking stuff as long as I know that you guys can follow up with you know setting them up with the Shader filter plugin check out the link in the description if you want to have those we have the simple ones and then we have the Tilted ones and there's that one and that's it in the meantime follow me on Twitch follow me on Twitter and I'll see you all next time go out there make me proud get level out
