It's the wind up and the pitch and it's a high curve ball just outside...

I know people who take images and place them on a flat plane as a modeling reference and then start creaing pixels in front of the image. I would guess and it is purely a guess, a lot of the cars in the market place are done this way. Whose property is the final mesh? The image creator or the mesh creator?

Before you answer the question, what would happen if the original poster rendered out the train he purchased and then put the render on back ground plane and modeled his own copy in front of it?

I have taken pictures of local buildings and pinned them up next to my computer as a reference because I want the 3D model I was making to have some part of that building in the mesh. Maybe a set of steps, the look of a door, a signs, or a window frame in relation to the size of the building, etc. I am not a reseller of products or renders. I have illustrated stories for friends for give away fiction stories. And yes Vicki did get a divorce from Mike and I have them both entering a close replicia of the front of an office building located in Reno, Nevada. The front of the Washoe county muni court where you really would go for a divorce has been closed for years. (you now enter via a side entrance)  Plus the front of it sucks looks wise.
