PJ Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi All, I’m after a ‘how to…’ I’ve searched the internet for tutorials and have numerous books on max, Ted Boardman’s max5 and 6 books are the best as they’re as close to architectural as you can get. But… My problem is I’ve modelled my building in max and I’ve got it so I’m pretty happy with it sat on a flat plain. I’ve got a picture of the land that I want the building to sit on, it’s a flat open area near me (I’m only playing around to try and learn). So how do you put the building in the picture? I’ve tried rendering in max and then putting it into photoshop and transforming the image to get it to look right, but it didn’t… so can I put the picture in max and render it all together? (tried to but it as a viewport pic but that was really odd) I’m clueless as to how to start this, everything I’ve tried has turned into a lemon… Any help would be VERY gratefully received, I’m using max6 and photoshop 7. Thanks in advance Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 I've just read the thread you refer to... I think i'll need to change my user name after Jeff's said you can't use it. I'm an architecturual technologist, work 4 days a week and know the bRegs inside out run jobs and get paid good... have been for 15years or so and always thought of it as a term of endearment... what do i know?

siliconbauhaus Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 thanks for the links. I must have missed something, what's wrong with the term cadmonkey? I've been using it for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 it's a question of location. it is a common UK term, but some peeps around the world who never heard of it before may take it too seriously and literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRAT Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 it's probably equally insulting when monkeys call each other humans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
