I have a digital photograph (i.e. a two dimensional image) which I'd like to use as the background for a Bryce scene. How do I do this? I would like to see the photograph in Bryce while working on the scene so I can match my Bryce objects' lighting with the lighting in the photograph. The only solution I can think of is to create a square primitive, then map the photograph onto the square as a texture. Are there any other ways? Thanks! P.S. - I'm using Bryce 5.

yes..I think you can use the 2d plane. I've done it with varying degrees of success..stay tuned for better and more coherent answers..;)

I've been using some of my pictures lately as backdrops in bryce, just have to be sure to have it set correctly. I used a 2D plane and made sure it was perpendicular. Pushed it way back and made it very large.

Yeah, Ang's method seems to be the best and simplist one. I'm hoping for a better system in Bryce 6.

Part 5 of the tutorial section in the link above describes how I do this; hope this is of any help.

You can set the 2d plane to track your perpendicular camera in the attriubes area. That'll make sure it's alwasys perpendicular to the camera.

Lordstormdragon posted a great tut on cool skies that included an excellent recipe for making 2d picture planes.

GG beat me to it! Thanks for remembering my mini-tut. Sometimes when I post those things, and nobody replies, it makes me feel like I wasted my time. Glad somebody remembered it!
