360 Pano perspective match

[Devin Johnston]

I've never tried to do a perspective match on an image like this, it would be easier to try and do the match to the image before it's stitched together but that may not be an option. Can anyone give me some advice on how to proceed, I'm kind of lost here.

you need to match it before stitching takes place or make sure that the subject is not overlapping any stitch areas. Once blended, you have faulty data so you'll have to eyeball it old school. If that's not possible, look into Mettle (http://www.mettle.com/product/skybox-studio-v2/).

That was my first thought as well but the pano probably has 20 different images making up the section I'd need to match, not so easy. I've actually had some success just using the spherical camera setting in Vray. I think with some photoshop work I'll be able to get it to match up pretty closely. The perspective match tool in 3d Studio is useless for this buy the way, I saw someone on the Autodesk forum recommend using it and there's no way.

Affinity Photo has recently added a 360 live editing mode...and support for Windows.

I've done it in the past but it was just eyeballing really, I had to match a new building in to a google panorama. It came out pretty decent, but I just figure out the height of the google camera then the location and try to match that in my 3D scene. then just try and error adjusting the VRay camera until it matched.

 

Camera match for 3D Max won't work in this case.

With a 360 image focal length of the camera doesn't come into it at all, so forget about EXIF info etc. The number one thing you need to match accurately is the camera location/height relative to your building and site context. In terms of having some kind of real-time feedback to line up your view, if you use Vray use the camera override settings, change to Spherical with FOV=360. You should then be able to use the VrayRT viewport to line up with the background photo.
