Background image lined up with model

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to line up a photo with a model?  I want to end up with my models looking like there in place on a photo of an existing location.  I.e. if you were to model a table, take a picture of the room in which is will sit and get it to line up (orientation, perspective and scale).  I've tried to model the room a bit but I can't seem to get it to line up with the photo.

Hi Randy,

This can be a bit tricky. The thing is that you need to get the exact size of the image. The image is on pixels. You will need to figure out how many pixels correlate to the actual measurement. You probably need a few trial-and-error attempts. One thing you may consider is to add a ruler to your image as a reference. This can help dimension the image correctly.

Many thanks!
