In this GIMP tutorial, I show you a simply but EXTREMELY effective trick to perfectly place objects and text in a 3D perspective. Plus, I show you how to add the texture from your photo to the object or text to make it look like it's painted on your 3D surface. This is a super simple technique using all built-in tools from GIMP.
GIMP is a free photo editor and photo manipulation software most similar to Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo.
I showcase the 3D transform tool and Bump Map filter in this tutorial. You can catch the full, in-depth lecture on the 3D transform tool in my GIMP 2.10 Masterclass linked below.
