  • adding a cutout photo in a 3d scene?

    Posted by Jason King2 on July 2, 2007 at 9:53 pm

    Hello,

    Is there a way to take a photo jpeg that has had the background removed behind the person in the photo and only insert that into a 3d scene? I know to import a jpeg it has to be matted to something like a plane, but what I want is to insert photos that are not a rectangle, just of a person, kind of like taking a bunch of paper dolls and then inserting them into a 3d scene. Should the photo’s be shot against a blue screen and then use a alpha ch to remove the bkgrnd?

    Hopefully my questions makes sense.

    Thanks

    Yea Jason it makes perfect sense. You just need to load the alpha or matte into the alpha channel of the material that you create.

    So picture/fill in the color channel and alpha/matte into the alpha channel.

    Rob Garrott really breaks it down here.
