upshot Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's interesting to note that autodeath just released another photomatching plugin for max recently.. To be honest i've never been able to get the camera match utility to be effective! For me it's easier to work the model into a viewport background manually. Now if you want a workaround... export a camera and some reference geometry from sketchup! that photomatch utility is extremely easy to use.

Stan Zaslavsky Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i've also just had to go through a photomatch - if given lots more time - i probably would've figured the matching somehow - but all in all did most of it manually a fantastic resource to understanding camera matching is here: http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials_3/setting_background/setting_background01.asp good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourthand11 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We've been asked to do 10 - 12 comps that could hold up in court. Is there someone out there who has done alot of this type of compositing work with 2d images that knows of extremely accurate techniques or software for camera matching?

Virgil Johnson Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 We've been asked to do 10 - 12 comps that could hold up in court. Is there someone out there who has done alot of this type of compositing work with 2d images that knows of extremely accurate techniques or software for camera matching? David Having done visual impact studies for 15 years... I have never found camera match to be of any help. And if you are going to court - as I have many times - you had better be super accurate and able to document each step that led you to the conclusion. You will find yourself playing with some big kids who are capable of tearing apart your study if they can. Oppositions can get really nasty and the ramifications of finding the "as built" does not match the visual impact study can be even nastier. (btw be sure to carry some heavy liability insurance) First you might have a look at a thread I started here in Feb. '07 about visual impact studies and using field references. For more help contact me with a PM and I will send more info. Virgil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
