Ph0n33z Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Alright, My family and I are in the process of building a new house out in the wine country in southern california. I have taken many different pictures, some 360 degree shots, in order that I can take the shots and add in the 3d elements. For example, I took a picture of where the gate/entrance and driveway are going to be. I want to then model and render the gate and driveway in Cinema 4D. I then want to add in the model to the picture, to create what the finished product will eventually look like. Basically, I want to take the bare dirt pictures and turn them into the finished product using 3D. The problem is that I have no idea what the best approach to this is going to be. Any tutorials, sites, info, books, or opinions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 The other option available to you is to get your pictures, pick up your wallet and come round to my house...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ph0n33z Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 you have 2 options one, wolud be doing a photorealistic render with a real background, doing this requires some time, specially for camera matching, you can do this on cinema or even in photoshop. yau can also model the background, match the plants on 3d using 2d tree libraries, this requires of a HUGE amount of time, cosidering that you will need models of almost everything that is in your site photo... and it would be way too complicated... http://www.maxoncomputer.com/tutorial_browse.asp?category=TECHNIQUES some C4d tutorials Well I tried doing a 3d photorealistic render with a real background and it turned out pretty well. It takes a little work getting the lighting right, but it is not very complicated. However, eventually, I am going to be making the entire lot with 2 houses and landscaping. So I am wondering if I should just recreate the photos in C4D and do an entirely 3d landscape. Maybe with the photos in the background for the views....... What do you guys think of that approach? If I do that, what is a good way to create an accurate representation of a lot with elevation, and scale??? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
