Interior Match Photo - Skill Builder

[@rolfschubert1853]

Yes, please do a video on multiple match photos. I think that would be a big help. I've stumbled with that before.

[@keggyification]

Hi Aaron, the live session that this video was inspired by was one of my favourites and I learned loads so more of the same please including multi photo usage.

[@yootoob7048]

I watched the live stream you referenced and would like to see more in this series related to Match Photo. The more the better.

[@LeifEliasson]

Yes a Multiple photo would be great 👍🏻

[@raulchacaltana]

Thank you so much, I've been using it recently and it's very useful to get dimensions just from references

[@АлександрЕршов-о6ч]

Thank God 🙏, you did that!!! Thanks a lot for this tips!!!🤝 It's very interesting to know the meaning of each button in Match photo menu

A few tips... 1. To make alignment easier, try to rotate the origin and axes roughly to the same angle as your room (photo) is BEFORE importing the photo. It will make it easier to position the axes if corner is not in the center of the image. 2. If you want to photo-match more then one photo in one model (view same room from different angles), the next photo MUST share a corner with the previous one. You match the first photo, then use the axes tool and positon the axes on the corner you will use in your second photo. Then you import the second photo and match it. 3. Know your SCALE. The best way is to know the room height. Then just draw a cube, set your view style to xray or lines only and just scale up along the blue axis. 4. If you are using Vray, for some reason it messes up the origin point of photo match. It also messes up those dashed 'helper' lines. Use the yellow square to position the origin point where you need it and dont pay attention that the yellow square is not on the origin point like it should be. Also, dont pay attention to those dashed lines, but use the GRID instead to help you position your planes. 5. Photos taken with extreme wide angle lens will probably not be matchable, so keep that in mind while taking photos. 6. In architecture photography, photos are usually edited so that the verticals are parallel. Make sure you use photos as they were taken with the camera or you wont be able to get the right perspective. If you export a 2D image (or render), you can adjust the verticals after in PS. [I hope Sketchup will one day update this tool to be more versatile.] I hope this helps. 🤓

Very useful information! Please post more about "matchphoto". Especially for indoor environments and detailing how to get measurements from photos.

[@rickvincent3332]

I use match photo quite a lot and something I like to do that works inside or out is to early on set a known object as the scale reference. What I mean by this is say for instance I will trace a brick, it helps to zoom in as close as possible to improve the precision of the tracing. I then use the tape measure tool on the long side of the brick, enter 230mm and hit enter. This now adjusts the model to a known scale based on the one brick. With that set you can use the tape measure tool to get dimensions of any other objects in the match photo view. For interiors I will often use the size of an appliance, counter height, etc, once you have any one known dimension and set the scale you can then measure the rest.

Looking forward to a multiple matched photo session

Absolutely love this stuff! Such a great knowledge to have!

[@patricklumb]

thanks that was great a multiple pic version of the tutorial would be great too !!!

[@giorgiopeirce3393]

Having the huge window showing such wide horizon, it could have been a faster step lowering the horizon guide line to match the actual horizon with the vanishing points. Thank you for your work, I'm a big fan of your classes.

[@TitusKrakenDesigns]

Hi Aaron! That's a little introductory video! Yes I think you definitely need to make a series of this, to show if you are working from several photos, and extreme situations, when the perspective is central, for example (i.e. either the red or green axes are parallel.), It would be important to even mention the coordinate origin relocation, or you started with textures, you should be better at this too! I look forward to the next video and in the meantime, don’t forget to save! : D: D: D

[@murph3194]

Any recommended videos using match photo for interior design? Example: adding wainscoting to a wall that will be 3 dimensional. Changing a kitchen around (cabs and counter) etc. All with the intended result to render end photos to show a client their new living space.

[@gusbert]

Show multiple image match photo please!

[@mischritch]

YES! Please do a multi match!

[@pixarch.academy]

Thank you very much for this tip! it was helpful! :)

[@andybster63]

A shortened 'recap' of using multiple images (like your live stream) would be great!

[@ToddModule]

Great info!!🙏

[@mapit07]

Please show multiple matched photos in one model. Thanks.

[@hambuilder]

Thanks, as always for these, Aaron. Is there an accurate method to size the photo to “real-world” measurements? I’ve used the blue axis and slid the scale up and down but unable to accurately depict the space. Thanks again!

[@sket83]

The best way is to know the room height. Draw a cube, set view style to xray or lines only, and scale up along the blue axis.

[@TheHornoxx]

... this feature is in my use very very often and I love it - Like a few other people here also I would like to know how to reasonably adjust a session with multiple photos. Additionally - is there a trick in case the template does not correspond to an orthogonal situation as shown in the video example above?

[@glideking]

Very helpful. I would like to see more about using match photo for using multiple photos of a building. I have trouble with my origin changing and loosing my match photo work. I have particular difficulty with a geo located building. Keeping the geo location and earth orientation for doing shading and solar study and multiple match photos can become confusing..

[@CraftAndu]

Hey man. He did a multiple match photo modelling live some time ago. It was a room from some video game. Check it out - some really great information there!

[@cimarq]

Is it possible to match an existing foto on an existing model? The idea is to have an insertion view, the model into the landscape.

[@sket83]

First, you need to use the axes tool and positon the origin in your model to the same corner you want to use in your photo-match. Then import your photo, position the origin point at your corner and aligh the axes. It is best to hide the model while you are donig this (use the checkbox in the photo-match menu). Then unhide the model and scale it up as needed along the blue axis. And you're done. 😉

[@SnowTiger45]

Why didn't you position the Horizon Line (Yellow) on the horizon which is visible in the photo ?

[@KentNelson]

The "horizon" that is showing is not necessarily the true horizon. The match photo may be on an upper floor, and that horizon showing may also be a top of trees line.

[@SnowTiger45]

@@KentNelson yes I suppose. thanks for the reply.

[@thomasrichmond4666]

I subscribed a couple of weeks ago and have not received any notifications. What should I do? Thanks.

[@m.a.stough4994]

Yes, multiple matched photo tut

[@mikewarner9086]

Yes

[@lingkararsitek3042]

Good
