Size of cards


#1

Hi,

is there any way to create cards - either cards or 3d cards at a determined an fixed size?
Can’t find anything apart from the project’s size format which isn’t very handy.
I have some very wide matte paintings I’d like to map on a card with the same size.

do you mean: the card should match the image aspect ratio of you Mattepainting?

that should do it by default if you plugin your image in the card (and on the card node the “image aspect” checkbox is on)

because the size of a card is nothing real, the “scanline renderer” and the camera you use define the size of the card in the final picture

maybe you want to have the card directly in front of your camera and view always the full image?
there is a nice little trick:
copy/link the transform and rotation of the card from the camera
copy/link the “lens in focal” and “lens in haperature” from the camera
play now with the “z” slider on the card to position you card in 3d space in front of the camera

Actually the other way around. Get the size of he card needed in Nuke, then create a matte painting(or split it up) in PS.

I’M aware of that and I also found out that using a checker map as a temp solution works quite well.

No, but thanks anyway.
