Dear D5 Techs,
Please see below photomatching feature available in Lumion below. Hopefully you can intergrate something similar or better!

Yes it would be great : At the moment, Iâm obliged to produce a fully mapped version for my customers for landscape insertion using Sketchup and Vray, since skp supports photo matching.
Then I start all over again in D5 to create an animationâŚ

Dear D5 Team! This would be one of the most important thing! Please add this feature ASAP!

PLEASE! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!
some tip. Photos are very often distorted somehow, so it could be simplyfied a little like: Pointing 3 (or more points⌠avareging) in photo, which are known in 3d space!

Despite all these requests, this option is still Under Review ?
Architects and perspectivists need it !!

Hello
First, Iâm early user of D5 and I never thought you went so far. Nice job D5 team.
I would like to talk about what is 3D and why photo match is essential.
We make 3D to show futur project to customer, some of them didnt project them in the futur and are not able to realise what it will look like.
We make nice 3D render but people love to see their futur house, building,⌠In environnement they know well. The surprise is bigger.
I use match photo on sketchup and the most of soft render take sketchup scène and ask me the final picture size.
I often be able to load the real picture in background too.
Itâs easy, it works and with photoshop this is nice.
When I open the sketchup model, D5 seems to have the sketchup scene but it doesnât fit.
I tried to change camera settings (fov) and out same value as sketchup but it doesnât fit.
I really think it could be so important to be able to load sketchup scene with exact same position and camera angle.
Second dĂŠtail.
Imagine I load a sketchup model, I have my scènes.
I add people, materials, 3D model, put settings,âŚ
If customer asks me new point of view, I can add it in sketchup but If I reload the sketchup model, scène are not reload.
Itâs impossible to export D5 scene and import it in new D5 project.
So if I add sketchup view and want to render it. I have to start from beginning.
I think D5 team should think about export D5 model and import.
Of be able to reload sketchup scene when we reload.
I was long, sorry, but asking for request is good but explain why is essential for me.
Users of D5 are architect or designers, they use photo match and as you know, customer always asks for changes until the end, so we need to be able to reload easily.
Best regards.

Hi mate, thank you, in the coming 2.4 version, the FOV in D5 will be improved so the effect will be a little better. And we may support photo match in future as well.
To send SU scenes to D5, you may need to use D5 Converter for SketchUp, but in this case, it is not compatible with directly imported/opened .skp model files.
Yours Sincerely,
Oliver

hi everyone,
this and video matching are things that I think are priority number 1, itâs really important and it makes the job completely easier. moreover, these are functions that are already common today. Thank you very much, if you have any information on whether it could be in the next update? and when will it be?
I would even argue that these functions are more essential than the terrain that has been added now

We need this asap! +1

Hello!
- The Photo Matching function is very much needed. We need the ability to embed the designed building into photographs of the existing surroundings, street, birdâs eye view.
- It would also be very convenient to be able to move the points of the two-point perspective for fine-tuning the view.
Thank you for your attention!

I totally agree. It is surprising that there is no way to change the focal length of the camera - without this it is impossible to synchronize the Object and the background photo. And of course we are all waiting for PhotoMatching. Thanks to the team and great success in improving D5Reder.

Hi Team - I think here is a opportunity for D5! What if D5 can be the top workflow software with the best feature to produce the most Accurate Architectural Photo montage using AI?
What if Ai can be used to aid the process by:
Annalise the environment. light conditions shadows and calibrating the camera to match the perspective of the existing photo.
Also ability to manually adjust small setting to adjust reference grids, focal length and to ensure the model scale match the scene to avoided discrepancies.
Perhaps also to add verified information to the tool so that the views can be verified for Planning Conditions.
Setting up a tool of this kind will help tremendously to aid in the design work stages when doing massing and detail façade design. Allot of the design decisions are driven by the existing context and influence the design in this way.
Donât just copy Lumions photomatching tool or Sketchups but rather make it even better then Blender, 3ds Max!
What do you think D5 Team?

Hi Team - please check out this tool for camera matching. This for interior. But maybe this will also help with street views and aerial views.
Also shown here from 2:22min onwards

same how Lumion does it.
works okay-ish can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
