Camera match for product design?


Recommended Posts

I am a product designer. I am trying to suspend a square lamp in a stock photo of a large hall of unknown proportions. I can place reference lines in the photo, but not along any cubelike entity. I can sort of guess at the length of one of the reference lines. But when I press set view to match, the reference object does not even remotely match the vanishing lines, that I have set. Which is odd, since the left and right vanishing points are clearly correct.

 

Is this tool only meant for buildings, or have I misunderstood its use? Is there a how-to video out there somewhere?

 

Any pointers are welcome
