4. In the position the vase rests in now, it only needs a shadow and lighting, which
you??™ll create shortly. But for now, you want to make the Vase object appear behind
other objects.Move the vase to the closer side of the foyer behind the larger
planter, as in Figure 16.6.
Figure 16.6 Position the vase on the front side of the foyer so that it??™s behind the planter, or

5. Press F9 to render a frame.
You??™ll see that as in Exercise 16.1, the 3D object is pasted over the background
image. But in this case, it needs to be behind the planter! You might think that??™s a

object, like a rock or building, but what about something with an odd shape like
the planter? LightWave makes it easy.
Now you add the foreground image and see how that changes your final output.
