Hello guys,

i just buy some HDRI with theirs plates, but i don't really understand how could i match my model (real scale) to the plate.
To make it simple, i make an HDRI environment for the HDRI map and a texture environment where i put the plate and turn it to visible environment, but i got a scale issue and i'm wondering if you don't have any tips about working with HDRI and their plates.

I can provide screenshots if needed.

Kind regards.

Hi Tagotaga,
as far as I can see, you have to use the HDRI in the primary environment, while the backplate in a diffuse material assigned to a classic c4d Background object.
If you need to use backplate also in reflaction or reflection, than you can use the visible environment with perspective projection, please, have a look at this other example:
