Render Camera Background Image Tweet

[haffy]

Hi, I have started testing to render architecture on with IBL as lighting and Background image as background, have matched the perspective in Modo but can not get the background image to render, only the IBL.
How do I make this work?

You need to enable the Alpha Channel. https://docs.otoy.com/manuals/products/modo/v3/octanerender-setup-window-rendering-tab/render-controls/rendering-kernels/background-images/

Is it also possible to have a background image in camera (frontal) projection ?

Camera front projection is supported by the plugin. Please see https://docs.otoy.com/ModoH/ModoPluginManual.htm#Modo/ModoProjectionMapping.htm for details.

Hi Paul,

I'm not understanding how to include a background image in my Octane render. I see your reply and have been trying to figure it out. When using Modo's built in renderer it's very easy to include the background image in the render.

What is the method for including the background image that's used in the Modo camera?

Thank you!

Hi Paul,

After searching a bit more I saw quite a few requests on this forum that didn't show up in Google. I guess I learned my lesson with that. In any case, I found the answer a little while ago and it's working just fine.

I'll probably have more questions though, regarding render outputs. : )

Thanks for the reply.

Best,
Rusty
