I'm not sure what you are saying by insert 3D model to Photo..


OT:Are you Czech?I met a Russian girl who lives in Prague.A poet she is,very nice...anyhoo just wondering.

maybe he means like sticking a photo he has saved on his pc (jpg) etc into 3ds max? thats the only sense i can really make out of what hes saying that would make sense. or maybe he means like printing stuff out of 3ds max to save as a picture? i havent a clue

I think I actually know what he wants hes asking. I think he wants to know how to composite a render of a model over a photograph. Yes......??????

Of course that's what he means, read harder guys.

The way you can do this is by applying the photo you want to use to the camera as an image plane.

- Create a new camera.
- Open the attribute editor and go to enviroments
- Click create new and browse to the file you want to attach.
- Now you make one of the viewports to the cameraviewport and create the geometry that will represent the table or something simular you have in the scene.. To get it to mach, you might have to adjust the lens on the camera.
- Open your hypershade and give all the objects that you don't want to render, but recieve shadows a "use background" shader.
- When you render, make sure you render as targa and check the alpha channel mask.
- Then you open the image in photoshop and create a new layer. In the new layer you paste the rendered image and you select layer type screen. Then you should have it!
You might want to render the shadow in an own pass so you can adjust it in PS later
