I believe this would be really great option when using an image for a background.
I recently designed a Boathouse and was imagining a nice background image of a Lake environment to put in the background for Rendering purposes.
I was having a difficult time finding an appropriate HDRI image, so I elected to search around online to try to find a panoramic image I thought would work well
as a background.
The issue is, there are no intuitive, easy controls for the placement of a background image in VW...like raising the 'Z' height of the image to, for example in my case, get
a realistic horizon line, etc. for the lake water, and / or moving the image left or right to best suit the rendered scene.
I hate to bring this up, but Cinema 4d (a disctant cousin of VW 🙂 ) is able to do this very thing...even allowing to stretch, fit or crop the background image as well as match the overall camera exposure settings, all in realtime, so you can tweak things as you see fit .
It is really slick how it works.
Anyway....a valuable wishlist item, seems to me.
Here is an example of what I am alluding to. In c4d I was able to slightly adjust the background image of the lake to fit the rendering:
