ajrare Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 With CA is it possible to take a picture of a site, then put that as the background backdrop for a camera view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm pretty sure you can, if you look well enough, you might find a chief architect video on how to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Try this. You may have to have SSA to view these, not quite sure. Never NOT had it. https://video.chiefarchitect.com/?search=backdrop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRST8TRKR Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Short answer yes you can. It will be nessesarry to take multiple shots of the property and from different distances from the actual build site. I have done this on new construction and on a church addition to show the building committee the finished look of the project and had good results with it. With the Addition it is most important to get the distance to the existing building and the angle correct to get the addition to match. Give the client a real feeling for their completed Home or business or in my example the church. Have a great week,Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkwest Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Made me wonder... Can you use panoramic backdrops with CA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I believe you could do this by using a "Billboard Technique" with a large cylinder surrounding the building. Explode that and place the image (texture) on the inside face of the cylinder. There are several other ways to create the surface to apply the image to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Joe, Isn't that what Spherical Panoramic Backdrop does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Joe, Isn't that what Spherical Panoramic Backdrop does? Glenn, I think the answer is yes. However, I think it is difficult to control the angle displacement of the spherical backdrop. Go ahead and give a play, look at it and now see if you can rorate the backdrop 90 degrees. With Joe's method, it seems it would be very easy to rotate the cylinder 90 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamelaMellon Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 What is the "billboard Effect"? When I can't get the exterior image to crop correctly, I place a mirror outside and put the photo in as a material is that the same as " Billboard"?
