Holding 2D photo still while changing view
-
I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything here. Am I right that it's impossible to to import a 2D photo as a background, then change the view of the model while keeping the 2D photo unmoved?
I can import the 2D photo, but it then acts as a face, and moves around in 3D with everything else. I'd like the photo to just hold still while I change the view of the model.
Possible? I don't want to use photo-match, it doesn't work if the photo's been cropped.

You can make it a component and check the face camera option, that way no it will always face you regardless of the view of your model.

"Always face Camera" didn't work. I selected the photo, then I had to click and drag a rectangle around it to identify it so that "make component" would work. Then I made it a component, and got the "make component" dialog, which included the "always face camera" check box.
I checked that off, and the photo still orbits, pans etc right along with everything else.
I can't get "always face camera" to work at all. Does it work for anybody, or is it just me?
