Hi D5 Team,
Working in the architecture and landscape architecture field doing renderings for proposed environments. We’re often working with drone images or photos and this feature would be indispensable! Could we expect this in updates soon? Thank you

I just started using D5, (after using Vray for SketchUP for 16 years and Lumion for about 12 yrs)… I’m loving D5 so far, but not being able to line up a shot for compositing is a huge disappointment. Hoping this feature is added soon. Thanks to everyone for mentioning their workarounds. I have PureRef, so I’ll try the transparent overlay and see if that works. I render sites then composite them into actual aerial photos. My old workflow was to create a style in SketchUp that had the aerial photo as a transparent overlay. Hopefully D5 implements and even better way to achieve ‘photo matching’. cheers

It’d be amazing if the sync camera views and sync rhino views to D5 actually synced the views correctly. Syncing camera views doesn’t contain correct lens length, rotation etc. And using sync rhino view also doesn’t contain all the correct camera info.
My camera and lens length in Rhino for a view is 22.556 mm. In D5 it doesn’t matches when I use sync rhino view. Changing vertical FoV to 22.556 doesn’t match the view. Using Pureref it seems I need to edit the FoV to 21.1. How come D5?

I hope that when this feature is available, they won’t forget to add a shadow catcher and an invisible transparent material that receives shadows, like a V-Ray material wrapper. Twinmotion just released a photomatch in its 2026 beta version, which looks very good. But I won’t be going back to Twinmotion.

I played with Twinmotion photomatch today and its pretty basic. Would be nice if D5 used AI to help solve the matching - at least a little bit. It should at least read the meta data from the back plate photo to lock in camera lens length etc. Also could read the back plate for environmental match etc.
Hi D5 team, any updates on this? Critical feature imv. TIA
