Understand that eventually we're going to get rid of the ground again and also get rid of your background. We're just working our way up to it.
So the first thing is the basic setup.
Here's the aux picture. See my photo? It's on a one-sided square. I scaled the square to match the aspect ratio of the photo. My photo is 1024 by 768. So I made the square xScale=1024% and the yScale=768%. After eyeballing it a few times I decided to make the overall scale on the square = 500%. I then positioned it behind my figure so that the poser ground intersects with the floor/wall at the back of the room in the photo.
I'll show you how to set up the material on the square in a bit so you can see it in preview and render it correctly.
My camera is looking straight at the figure and the photo. I have a light from above (you choose how you want the light to be) plus some IBL.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
