OTOY Forums

The ability of loading an image of same X/Y ratio as the render in background directly in Octane would be very useful. Even if not renderable, it would help for objects placement when we have to render an object over a background image. The real compositing would be done in Photoshop or Gimp as usually.

I asked for that as a feature request one or two times...

I hope I'm understanding what your asking... here goes...

First render with Alpha checked, using "Sunlight" setting:



Then render again with Alpha unchecked, use 'Texture Environment" and for your texture select the "Image" you want



Finally take the two resulting images and composite them in the graphics tool of your choosing: (for this I demo I just used Paint.net)



Hope this helped,

Steve
