[font:Arial Black]CameraMatch 2013 (for Vectorworks 2013) is now available![/font]

[font:Arial] Quickly and accurately align a 3D model view to a photograph. Then create beautiful polished rendering using the CameraMatch Masking, Cloning and Shadow features. Our goal in developing CameraMatch 2013 was to make it easier, more accurate, and more predictable to use. The result is a set of plug-ins that get you more accurate results, even faster than before![/font]

[font:Arial Black]CameraMatch 2013 Features:[/font]

[font:Arial Black]New Preview Object:[/font]

[font:Arial]The Preview Object is an object shown within the CameraMatch object to aid in setting up the CameraMatch view. I could bore you with a long explanation of how cool this feature is, or you can just watch a snazzy video:

[/font]

[font:Arial Black]One standard Control Line mode:[/font]

[font:Arial]Previous versions of CameraMatch had 3 control line modes. These have all been eliminated in favor of one standard mode. Some of the advantages of this new mode are:

? More predictable view calculations

??More reliable view tuning

? The ability to use cropped photos[/font]

[font:Arial Black]Interface improvements:[/font]

[font:Arial]Miscellaneous improvements to beter guide you through the process. Simple things like control lines that now only point towards their calculated vanishing point, icons added to the Tune View Dialog slider, and alerts that point out common mistakes. New final render mode settings and a Render Viewport button have also been added to let you update the viewport without leaving the annotations. All of these little things add up to a smoother more trouble free process; giving you professional results fast.[/font]

[font:Arial Black]Shadow objects can now be given a fill color:[/font]

[font:Arial] Shadow objects can now take on the fill color given to them through the Attributes palette. This lets shadows better match the colors of shadows in the photo.[/font]

This add on is well worth the money, especially if one does any work with existing conditions and buildings in context of other buildings. This add on just works and in combination with renderworks representation of designs in situ are exemplary.

And no I do not get any kick back for sales, just thought others should know what they are missing.

Stan and Christiaan,

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying CameraMatch!

I'm very excited about this release. A lot of work went into this version to make it even more reliable, flexible, predictable, and efficient than before. The Preview Object and new standard control line mode are a huge help in this respect. The preview object gives constant feedback as adjustments are made and the new control line mode provides far more robust view calculations.

It's also worth mentioning the addition of a new "Tips and Troubleshooting" section in the manual and on our website: CameraMatch Tips & Troubleshooting

Hi Ian,

Unfortunately CameraMatch 2013 will not work in VW versions previous to VW 2013. So far, each major release of CameraMatch added new features that take advantage of newly added vectorscript calls. For these reasons, we've never been able to make it function in earlier VW versions.

Generally, the version number of CameraMatch matches the current version of VW that it was originally written for. But, as with CameraMatch 2011 (also compatible with VW 2012), some versions may continue supporting future versions of VW.

That all said, I cannot predict what the future holds. :-)
