I bought a bunch of Xfrog billboards. How do I make sure they're dead on with the camera?

Select the billboard, click the 'A' button to get the attributes.

Under 'Linking' (the second tab), click the box saying 'None' under track object name, and select 'Perspective Camera'.  It should work with +Z (default setting), but feel free to try the other settings to see if they're any better.

That tree looks pretty good, and I'd imagine a fairly low render time.  Might be worth checking out the billboards... (or make my own)

That sounds good but I mostly use the Director to do everything from, as the camera doesn't react as well for me.  In other words, I find it harder to place just where I want it... so...

Can you do the same thing with a billboard only link it to the Director's view?

Ahaa, I did sort of wonder if "Camera to Director" might have anything to do with this, thanks.

So from what you say, using "Camera to Director"  moves the camera to where you have the director's view set up and therefore won't spoil the  set up between director and scene that took so long to achieve.  Right?

Good.

Exactly

Lovely.

When it comes to Camera & Director POVs, I always set the camera first,and then use the director POV to walk through the scene and set stuff up when I need a viewpoint shift to get things right.  Don't forget the "Top, Side Bottom" types of views to really help line up stuff accurately.  It will improve your control over the scene immensely.

Also, once you have your camera positioned the way you want it, use the save dots to make sure you can always snap back to this if you make a mistake and move it.  I have one picture "Trainspotting" that I can't do a repost of because I set it up backwards and saved the dots wrong. :c(  I'd have to do it over from the start.  Hmmmm maybe not a bad idea either knowing what I know now.  Oh great, now I gave myself another idea for a picture. Sigh.....  Anybody know how to create hobos or get hobo clothing in Poser?
