Matte painting for camera mapping...

[brad]

How do you set your 3d camera in a 3d program (MAX) from only one Matte painting for camera mapping with no measurements?

Try this;

1-draw a cube (1x1x1) in your matte painting that matches the perspective.
(This will be used only as a guide, you can later remove it.)

2-Use "camera match" in MAX and assign the helpers for the cube corners.
