  • Basic scene setup to match storyboards?

    Posted by Stanomatic on September 4, 2007 at 6:54 pm

    What’s the work flow for setting up camera views to match storyboards from psd or ai? Can I import a psd or ai file as a background template image to then position objects and camera to match storyboard frames?

    Is there a way to have the Editor Window show my Scene Camera view with title safe guides that can then be specified for various aspect ratios.

    I want 720×540 square pixels for now.

    I there a tutorial that addresses this workflow that comes with the program or online?

    I cannot give much advise of how to deal with storyboards, but to match the perspective of background images you can use the PhotoMatch plug-in. It generates a perspective matching camera, eases the placement of already modelled objects in the image background and offers some simple image modelling features. A free version of PhotoMatch comes with the CINEMA 4D 10 book from Focal Press. The commericial version is available here: http://www.vreel-3d.de.
    A standalone version and a demo is also availbale here: http://www.photomatch.info

    Where can I download a demo from a US site? I like the versatility of this. I might end up using it for many things but it might also be overkill. I design composing still frames and need to retain the creative flow that comes from speed and gesture. Tools that allow ease-of-use work-flow are preferable. I suspect a tool this complex might hinder the creative work flow.
