architectural visualisation made easy in R14: new C4D camera matching feature

. AddOn, News . , , , , , , , , ,

Wouldn’t it be great to take a photo and have your model elements behave as real 3D elements in the scene created by the photo? ie. A background photo that you take, becomes a real 3D scene, no modeling required, just drop in your model and move it around the 3D photographic scene, with correct perspective.

It is possible…it is called camera matching and it is available in C4D R14!

Match your 3D camera to virtually any image with the Camera Calibrator in CINEMA 4D R14. Simply draw lines or grids on top of the image, and the vanishing point, focal length and orientation of the camera will be calculated. Add a pin to solve the camera’s position, and set the scene scale by adding known lengths for any line. Quickly create a background object, or generate a camera mapping tag to begin using the image as part of a matte environment.

The new ArchiCAD 15 version – announced May 3, 2011 – enriches architectural forms available for designers to unleash their creative minds. The versatile new Tools (Shells, Complex Roofs) not only support a wide range of shapes and element geometries, but also keep them in the BIM realm by using real structures and element connections. This approach supports designers all the way through the final steps of the design and documentation process.
