Hi bluemotion,

 

You can start by recording the used camera angle when taking the picture. Fit the settings of your digital camera (not the machine, but the 3d virtual camera) to this value.

 

A good tip, that is not well known: If you have not recorded your camera settings, but you do have a digital photo, go to photoshop/file/file info and check the origin tab... You'll find the correct values for focal length, aperture, etc... just at your feet! ;)

 

Next use max/viz 'camera match' feature (in the tools tab). Check the manual or online help on how to use this tool.

You can also use ImageModeler (realviz.com) for just perspective matching. IM uses the same engine of Matchmover. For that case you need two or more photos, the second and third do not need to be the ones you use for the final photomontage. IM will figure our camera info and will give you a very precise camera to export. We use this tool for perspective matching; no more guess work is involved.

Hi all, Hi nisus!

I tryed, both with my digital pic and from someone else, and both tabs were empty orangeno

Just a side note this will only work with Photoshop 7.0 or better. Doesn't work with PS 6.X and lower.
