Day ligt or HDR + background image

[sjonsjine]

I want to use daylight or a hdr for my light but also an image as a background, how can I do this?

Thanks, sjonsjine

Right now you're only chance is to slap the background texture to a plane, pretty far away so it doesn't affect illumination too much

Hmm.....

Interior shot, windows, looking outside at background photo...... when this background photo has to be mapped on a plane far away in the distance then I have to scale this plane a lot and then this "background" plane still effects the light and shadows I would say.

by the way is it possible to exclude the plane from casting shadows?

Yes, the plane has to be far away, just try it... this trick has been done for ages in Archviz
