Im trying to match up the colour, lighting, perspective etc of a spaceship sitting infront of a photography I took and are using as a background image.
I am using either
viewport properties/wallpaper and loading the photo there or
Display options/viewport settings and loading it there. Not sure which is better or maybe they are the same??
I am able to successfully export the image using the alpha image transparency and put it together in photoshop.
However, I am finding it very hard to make sure the colour and lighting and perspective etc match up.
Its a very long winded process to take the image out into photoshop, load it and copy paste ect into the image, then scale and review it to realise that there is not enough orange from the sun etc to match the background.
I would love to be able to do a rendering in the OCTANE RENDER VIEWPORT that show the background image behind it.
There is a thread here
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=45810
with several users expressing the same desire in another plugin. This thread asks about enabling the KEEP ENVIRONMENT in the KERNEL settings. I have tried this but only get a black background, no photos.
Is there something Im doing wrong here. Its this even possible in the RHINO version? Should I be using a render pass with ENVIRONMENT or INCLUDE ENVIRONMENT enabled?
I will still put the final image together in Photoshop but need to use the 'rough' preview in the octane render viewport to help me get it looking correct.
Cheers
Tim
