Blender Addon Image material to Billboard

The "Create Billboard with Fitted Image Material" add-on for Blender streamlines the process of generating billboard-like structures with perfectly fitted image textures. This tool automatically adjusts the dimensions of a 3D billboard based on the aspect ratio of the selected image while allowing customization of thickness and material node types.

Designed for Webtoon Comics Backgrounds and easy billboard or image material plane creation, this add-on ensures quick and efficient workflow. It provides one-click material assignment with support for Principled BSDF (PriBSDF) for realistic shading or Emission for glowing, unlit textures.
