Make sure that Camera View Background is set to Background
Image in the Display Options tab (press d).
7. Move the camera so that the LightWave grid is roughly in line with the floor in
the Foyer background image, as in Figure 16.3. Start by moving the camera up
and then rotating it.
Figure 16.3 To make your compositing job easier, first move the camera into a position that
more closely matches the position of the real-world camera that took the original
photograph.You can align the camera easily by using LightWave Layout??™s grid
as a guideline.
8. Move the Vase object back into the frame and rotate it so that it is resting on the
ground plane. Create a keyframe at frame 0 for the vase to lock it into its new
position, as shown in Figure 16.4.
Figure 16.4 To composite the vase,move it into position so that it rests in front of the stairs.
Now, the 3D object is composited against the background image, the most basic
of all compositing situations. By moving the camera into a similar position as the
camera that took the photograph, positioning the vase was not too difficult. The
LightWave grid helps you align to the background image.
