Panoramic Backdrop - Skill Builder

[@davidl4910]

I would also like to see it done with a 360 image, as we are thinking of getting an insta360 one R in the near future.

[@gusbert]

That sample/paint technique can be used to fix a lot of material alignment problems in your model.

Excellent video!! I would like to ask, when is it good to use "projected"? To me it looks like never.... Where is my mistake?

[@donVisiore]

hi, not a sketchup user, but I know the answer to your question. It is mainly used on terrain photos from above, like google earth, where the pictures are projected on the irregular surface. The satellite photos don't take the pictures of the terrain in 3D, that's why the regular high resolution pictures are simply put on the map and if you turn the terrain shapes on, the same (flat) images are projected on the model of the earth. This is why you see the surface of the hills stretched when you are e.g. exploring mountains. Same observation as with the landscape used in the video.

So, next time try to make a halfspherical dome. Thanks.

[@agdragon1]

Very nice, slightly different than how I've used those tools. I think this will be great for remodel backgrounds! Now I'll be shooting Panoramics on the regular.

Your kungfu is very good👍😁

[@The123abdulrahman]

Wow .. you are legend Aaron!

[@chrisb3927]

Thank you Aaron. Great tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Randor10]

Absolutely excellent. I am just about finished modelling my retirement cottage at the top of a cliff overlooking the ocean and have created a full panorama of what the view will be from the deck. This will display perfectly in the model. Thanks!

[@SketchUp]

Woah that sounds amazing! Now we just need a way to import a fresh sea breeze smell...

[@brianderby145]

Awesome video!! I've watched tons of these Skill Build videos and some are just like "yeah ok that clicks and registers"....this one I'm gonna need to study a bit more to figure out how it actually "works" to make the image segment around like that. I guess I'm just more "how and why something works" than "how do I recreate what he did".... unless you wanna make and explanation video...hint hint.

[@debitkrn7281]

Nice, Could you do this on ipad? The right clic and turning projected off? How?

[@mbb2725]

Why bro look fine af 🫠

[@ash4school]

how did you get the arc line to stay? i do this and the line disappears..:

[@SketchUp]

It's hard to know without seeing your screen. Are you using the 2 Point Arc? This video walks through how to make arcs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKPKhaJ5nMt5jdU

This was an awesome video. I have stumbled at doing this, and I created a backdrop that matched my customer's room where my custom furniture will be placed. So excited that I found this instructional. Thank you!

[@besogogebashvili8212]

super eren very good

[@fabuxo]

So nice! thanks

[@keggyification]

That was cool, Thanks Aaron

[@curransKids]

Very nice. I will try this. My wife can't visualize where our house would be, so taking a panorama of the building site and performing this would be very helpful. It will also be helpful for me to see the elevations of the windows from inside the house as to what you see outside. I also plan on taking the pictures at different times of the day to see the sun rise/shadows as we look out. Thank you so much.

[@richardvankesteren7013]

Thanks for this noice tutorial, very helpfull.

[@1shafferm1]

How did you get your default trays to show like that on a Mac?

[@kixx027]

wow i've been doing this for years =)

[@fabdelap2971]

Please I would like to know how to rotate by 90 deg a picture imported as match up photo. Thk you

[@SketchUp]

Match Photo images do not move. You need to either rotate the model by 90 degrees or orbit around tot he side of the model you want to align with, then reimport the Match Photo image. For more help with this process, please post to our forum (forums.sketchup.com) since YouTUbe comments are a terrible way to try to troubleshoot models!

[@Maubere-reac]

Your video really help

[@finehouseltd]

Thanks much Aaron

[@rickmoutz]

OK that is a nice backdrop...but I've had problems when you turn on shadows for the model you get a shadow cast from the backdrop as well and it just ruins it What then?

[@SketchUp]

Try selecting the face of the backdrop and turn Casts Shadows off in Entity Info.

[@chriscastelein2260]

@@SketchUp yes, you can stop it from casting a shadow on to a surface, but it ends up being in shadow of itself, ie. doesnt receive sunlight and looks dark. How is that over come?

[@SineEyed]

@@chriscastelein2260 you could try reducing the angle of the shadow cast by changing the time of day. Alternatively, move the backdrop geometry farther away from the part of the model you intend to be focused on. Enlarge the backdrop as necessary..

[@PlanosdeCasasPequenas]

super! muchas gracias!!

[@Steve_W27]

Wow - thank you. Very cool!

[@dwayne6402]

This was cool.

[@LambrianosGeorgiadis]

Awesome. Thanks, Aaron!

[@boxoffisa]

When I was beginning, one day I nearly cried looking for a way to do this. But even when I learnt I am here to eep learning. Lol.

[@SketchUp]

Hope this helped to dry your tears!

Yep! We have heard and it will be made, but we are about 4 weeks out on Skill Builders, so you will need to be patient!
