DaViper Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I had someone ask me if Chief can create some landscape elements onto a picture? I see this as quite tricky as the picture would be 2D and I assume would be applied as a custom backdrop? I do not believe there is any need to get super precise or perfect depictions, but rather take a picture and say add a tree here and and rock there. It almost seem photo editing software would be the proper choice but maybe CA can do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build>Image - Launch Help (F1) and search "Image" and read up on it. 3D Backdrop - Launch Help and search "Backdrop" Images applied as materials to other various objects instead of, or in combination with the above. Launch Help, search "Materials" and read up on creating and defining materials. There are really a lot of possibilities. You have to explore them for yourself though.

bobeee Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Using a backdrop in a walk through is weird. As I walk around the house and my orientation changes, the backdrop stays the same. Is there any way to specify that a backdrop is a sphere that surrounds the model? so when I walk around and look in different places, the view changes .

It is a lot of work but you may be able to create your own backdrop screen depending on the situation and layout of your plan and terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobeee Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 i discovered the spherical 3d settings and this locks the backdrop to the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
