      here's a 5 min one.
      still need to work on the line quality and on the shadow direction to match the shadow that the table leg is casting but on a larger scale that watermark option is indeed the way to go.
      i used a higher transparency on the rectangle and removed the "cast shadow" option.

      Guess i learned a new thing today πŸ˜„

      Well, I could not figure out where the vanishing points of that hand photo would be. What I suspect (or at least could imagine) is that the photo was taken on a completely white "table" then white was swapped with transparency (thus leaving a semi transparent shadow). But I am a complete PP illiterate myself so I have to confess I am not sure.

      Now in SU, you can use a photo like that as a reference (as a watermark) and adjust your shadows and perspective to the photo. Then export an image in hidden line face style at around 2x of the final render (then resize - this is probably how those subtle and a bit grey edges are there), export a render (IF there is any render at all - honestly, I cannot tell) and layering the stuff onto each other, you end up with something like this.

      Have you got any specific in mind?

      my plan was to snap a pic of an existing location and try to place my model on a given site.
      the main idea is to implement models in real surroundings.
      maybe there's an easyer way to do that then what i'm trying to do right now.

      edit on a second glance the pic looks multilayered:
      -hand looks the same
      -table-top looks fake
      -background (computers etc) can be easily faked in

      i'll give it a try and post the result if it sin't embarassing

      Hi Beck and welcome!

      So what exactly is what you are looking for? How to put two images together or how to combine SU line work with a PR rendered version of the model or how to put the shadows of both the hand and the bridge on the same table???

      Well i imagined that the picture + hand +its shadow must be one story, and the SU model another one.
      i'd like to know how you'd merge the 2 together so that the perspective of the picture matches the one of the model.(both pictures have the same vanishing points so it looks "realistic")
      I must admit i am a noob at rendering and photoshoping models into pictures.
      also i have no idea what post-processing programs i need
      p.s. how can i change the linetype i'm currently working with? (the lines in that model look thinner and "squigglier" than the stock one)

      In fewer words: How can i reproduce that ? ^^^

      hope i'm not disturbing anyone here, and that i can be pointed in the right direction.

      Thanks guys!
