Background image

[LOA-ARCH]

I have a jpg file loaded into Revit to serve as a background outside of the building I'm rendering an interior shot of. When I render in Revit it looks great. It does not, however, show up in Octane. I've tried adding it as a texture, but trying to get the scaling and placement right is a challenge. Am I missing something?

This was last week when everything was working.

You can either

a) Rightclick the plugin Settings tab tree and "Load Background Image", which will allow you to load an image as the background to the Viewport (but you need to enable Kernel->Alpha Channel). When you save the render, the background will not be saved - so you will need to composite the render image with the background in Photoshop, Gimp, etc.

or

b) Load an IBL image into the Environment->Texture Environment. This will provide both a background image and scene lighting.
