Through the window view

[Gcase]

I am in in version 3. Were doing a kitchen in a town house in Annapolis. The views through the sliding glass doors are of the bay. I'd like to take a photo image of the bay and render it as the view through the window vs the current view which is farm land. If someone can point me in the direction of the video or proper title in the help section. I would appreciate it.

hi:

did you mean version X3 ???

I doubt if ver 3 has the billboard tool like X3 does ???

if not, you could try placing a slab or soffit outside of the house
and then apply the pic as a material

be sure to use "stretch to fit" (if ver 3 has that setting ???)

Take a photo of the view- stand as close as possible to the location of the sliding doors, so the vantage point will look right in the render. Save the photo on your computer and then in Chief go to File>Import>Backdrop and navigate to where you saved the photo and import it as a backdrop. Then under 3D>Settings>backdrop tab click "select backdrop" button and it should be available for you to select. Click OK, and it should then become the backdrop for your render.

or do a post pro in your favorite photo editor...

Layer 1: backdrop
Layer 2: your render

This way you can move and adjust the size of layer 1 to proportion the view outside.
