    House on the Ground

    Can someone tell me how to make a house appear to be sitting on the ground of the Backdrop in Render Full Camera, and Render Full overview?

    I think the answer is to add a terrain perimiter and give it a material that looks similar to the groud cover in the backdrop. The terrain perimiter rotates with the model and all you need to do is to rotate and raise and lower the model to appear in the proper perspective relative the backdrop.

    I hope this helps. Give it a try. It may take a little practice to get what you want.

    Otherwise you would have to make the foundation thickness equal the amount of reveal above ground if you do not use a terrain plane so it would appear that the home is sitting on the "ground".
