Any advise on how best to create textures for Daz Cyclorama with a digital camera? Has anyone succesfully produce an interior scene? How does one approach a beach or forest street and alley etc.? I have No mememory and it would be cool if I could use it for such things! Are there issue of horizon line? Meshing overhead and frontal perspective etc? Thank you.

I remember Anton (PheonixRising) once made a mini tut here about how to do it, perhaps a search could bring it up. Download the template from the product page, that'll tell you where the horizon is supposed to go. I also remember, from that tut that it looks best if it's composed at at least 2 pictures, with the ground part taken more or less vertical.

See the tutorial at the arcana for an overall look at texturing and general tips. You can use it for indoor renders as long as you know that there is a bumpy part and to render accordingly.

I had this copied and saved for future use.

Remember if you are taking photos take 5 photos 3 kneeling. ..center, center left, center right and stitch together 2 standing aiming at feet for matching ground cover. -Regards, Anton

Jeez! To have to take stitch together pictures! Wouldn't it be easier to use one of the new hires digital cameras and crop it to the proper aspect ratio?
