Is there a way to use the sketchup camera match image in the enscape rendered window?

Thanks

@mikemunson You can sync Enscape with the SketchUp camera.  
If this isn’t the solution you wanted I need more information 😉

Thanks Jonathan - I would like to be able to use the photo I am camera matching in the enscape render window. Currently any background photo I use does not show up in the rendered window. Make sense? I am doing a camera match to a background photo. Thanks

“Photo match” from SU only uses the photo imported as an overlay/underlay to your working space; there is no geometry or texture that Enscape can see.

However you can place a large billboard behind your model, r-click on it and “Project Photo”. (This works better if it’s straight on to the camera - Enscape does not handle projected textures too well when it’s warped.)

you can try “Project photo” and make it a unique texture (first you have to draw geometry to Project the photo on to…🙂

Hello everyone,

I notice when I used in Sketchup Match Photo fonction, Enscape render image is off from the Sketchup saved image.

Does someone experienced the same problem?

Panning in skewed images in SU doesn’t translate into Enscape (for example photo match and panned 2 pt perspective.)
