1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:07,400
First, go to Tomasz Marek's website at tomaszmarek.eu,

2
00:00:07,592 --> 00:00:10,412
select the SketchUp section,

3
00:00:11,497 --> 00:00:15,005
and there you'll find the plugin "Bring My View Back".

4
00:00:15,271 --> 00:00:19,619
Download it and unzip it to your SketchUp Plugins folder.

5
00:00:21,922 --> 00:00:28,343
Here we have a basic model with a SketchUp "Scene" already in place.

6
00:00:29,579 --> 00:00:32,931
Go to Plugins > [TM] BMVB > Bring My View Back.

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,475
Zoom out so you see the component that has just been placed.

8
00:00:41,346 --> 00:00:46,944
Scale this component along its blue axis,

9
00:00:47,362 --> 00:00:52,186
while pressing the SHIFT key, so it scales uniformly.

10
00:00:54,355 --> 00:00:56,397
There we go.

11
00:00:58,931 --> 00:01:02,095
Double-click on the component to open it...

12
00:01:04,218 --> 00:01:09,480
and go to File > Import.

13
00:01:10,323 --> 00:01:13,430
We need to import our photo as a texture.

14
00:01:16,679 --> 00:01:20,659
Place it on the plane and scale as desired.

15
00:01:22,678 --> 00:01:28,601
Close the component to return to the scene.

16
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:33,446
And so, we have placed a background that can be rendered with any software.

17
00:01:34,423 --> 00:01:38,617
Now, we'll deal with PhotoMatch images.

18
00:01:39,795 --> 00:01:43,461
Use the "Bring My View Back" plugin...

19
00:01:43,881 --> 00:01:46,576
to place a plane perpendicular to the camera,

20
00:01:48,018 --> 00:01:55,024
and again scale it along its blue axis while pressing SHIFT.

21
00:01:57,052 --> 00:02:00,762
Scale it back a little without pressing SHIFT,

22
00:02:00,863 --> 00:02:04,924
to leave an error margin when projecting the photo.

23
00:02:05,697 --> 00:02:08,128
Return to the PhotoMatch scene.

24
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:14,316
Hide the model. I made it a component so it's easier to hide.

25
00:02:16,394 --> 00:02:20,269
Open the component, select the face,

26
00:02:21,218 --> 00:02:24,340
and right click > Project Photo.

27
00:02:26,193 --> 00:02:28,452
Close the component,

28
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,122
and Unhide the model.

29
00:02:34,336 --> 00:02:38,682
That's it. We now have a PhotoMatch background

30
00:02:38,683 --> 00:02:41,713
that we can use in our renders.
