Ethan R. Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hi - Before I go into "research mode" (Trial & Error!) I want to create an IMAG viewport. Figuring I can - Create a Viewport from a rendtrworks camera - Copy that viewport to a sheet layer with a screen distort / adjust that camera viewport to match the skew of the new viewport? Anyone have a better idea? Thanks! Ethan Quote Link to comment

Kevin McAllister Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I think Ethan wants to take a camera view of an event space and insert that camera image onto the screen objects he's placed within the event space in order to create a rendering. For example, if his rendering is a wide shot of the stage with a speaker at the podium with screens behind, he wants a close up of the speaker on the screens rendered from the same environment. Essentially a rendering nested into a rendering. I've done this before but I rendered out the camera view as a JPG and turned it into a texture to apply to the screen - so a two step process. (IMAG is live video at an event inserted into the live video presentation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAG) Kevin Quote Link to comment
Ethan R. Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 You got it Kevin. That 2-step process is my plan - going to try the viewport over a viewport! LOL! E Quote Link to comment
EAlexander Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I find this easier to do in Post Processing (Photoshop). Quote Link to comment
bbeanan Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 2 step process works the best... trying to do a viewport on a viewport will be very hard to make it look right Quote Link to comment
Shac Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 One way to do it is to render the camera view save that image as JPG or PNG. Even if you save it as PDF I think you can copy the picture and save it on your desktop. Then create a new texture in Vectorworks import the image to that texture and assign that texture to your screen. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Luis M Ruiz Posted September 18, 2016 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 18, 2016 I take advantage of this conversation to share the learning experience on using now integrated Camera Match in 2017. It is a matter of placing a fix point and align 6 vanishing lines to a photo. Maybe small adjustment at the end. What I like about using camera match is that I can control the rendering style and not always trying to go for Photorealism. (See images) Quote Link to comment
