3d rendering over an imported photo

I am trying to create a photo realistic rendering of a site by placing 3d plant images over an imported photo- I've tried jpg and pict formats- I'm able to draw, place the plants, change the view to get the proper perspective, but I cant get a rendered version to show the plants over the imported photo. Sending the photo to the back doesn't seem to make a difference. The 3d views work fine, but when I go to render the 3d symbols dissapear. VW 10.5.1b, Mac

P;

If you have imported the photo as an image, it's a 2D only object, which is stuck in the 2D only space (flat on the screen).

If you want it to have a 3D existance (to sit behind your 3D plants) you will probably need to map the photo onto a 3D surface (extrude, NURBS, 3DPoly)as a texture, and then place it in 3D.

Either that or make the plants 2D, and put them in front of your photo.

HTH,
