Camera Match Vectorworks plugin 2009.0.2

Camera Match Vectorworks plugin 2009.0.2 is a professional tool that can fast and exactly align a 3D view to a photograph. Vectorworks has some great 3D view manipulation tools, but when trying to align a 3D model to align with a photo, the process can be time consuming (and frustrating) at best. The Renderworks Camera object can help with this process, but it's just not designed for the task. Trying to adjust the Renderworks Camera's many tuning controls while keeping the model in the correct place on the photo can take hours of trial & error. And after all the trial and error, the process can still leave some question about the accuracy of the view. This is where Camera Match comes in.

The Camera Match process involves placing a 3D reference point in your model, then placing a Camera Match object in a viewport's annotation space. The 3D reference point gives Camera Match the location and orientation of the model. The Camera Match object locates the reference point on the photo and establishes vanishing points by aligning control lines along elements in the photo.

Major Features:

1. New Masking Feature: Making out unwanted parts of the rendered model is now as easy as drawing a polygon! The Camera Match Mask object seamlessly blends with the Camera Match background image and even has an Anti-alias option to soften it's mask edges. This eliminates the need for image editing applications for less complex masking tasks!
2. Automatic Render Background creation and sizing: In Camera Match 2008, it was left to the user to manually create and size the Render Background. Not only was this an extra step in the process, but it also left a chance for the user to make an error. If the Render Background size and the Camera Match "printed size" settings were not set the the same size, unexpected results would occur. Camera Match 2009 now takes care of this step for you.
3. "Under the Hood" Improvements: Many fixes and more error checking have been incorporated. These will make things run smoother, and help prevent the Camera Match related objects from being incorrectly placed.

Enhancements:

• Adds new Masking feature.

Requirements:

• Vectorworks 2009 (SP2 or greater)
