I strongly recommend saving your camera’s view by creating a view to save your Enscape camera settings. Once finished go back to “Enscape settings” and uncheck the “User Interface Overlay”. Start navigating around the building until the building angle’s line up with the photograph. Where a fixed non-moving transparent image is overlayed the 3D Enscape scene. The Enscape viewport should look similar to the animated GIF above. Now click on the folder icon and select the background PNG image we just created earlier. Now back in Enscape, return to the customization tab under “Enscape Settings” and click on the checkbox next to the “User Interface Overlay”. Do not save this as a jpg or the transparency data will be lost. The file must be saved as a PNG for this to work. The checkerboard won’t be apart of the image, it only serves as a visual representation of how transparent an image is. Where there is a checkerboard pattern brought through the image.

Once the layer has been unlocked, adjust the opacity slider to around 30%. Unlock the layer by simply clicking on the lock icon in the background layer. Load the background image into photoshop. But before we can use any image as an overlay, the image will have to be modified in order for it to be semi-transparent. We’ll be taking advantage of Enscape’s User Interface Overlay feature in the Customization tab in the settings. This will provide a clear outline of your building. Here are the settings I used in order to completely remove any non-essential Enscape items from the scene.Īlso, it is extremely helpful for the purposes of perspective camera matching that outlines be at 100%. The goal here to have the building completely isolated. The focus will be on how to match the perspective to Enscape’s camera and how to export images required for a superimposing workflow.īefore loading Enscape, I recommend creating a separate 3D view in Revit, hiding all elements and items that are not building related. I want to note that I will not be diving too deep into Photoshop techniques in this article. This workflow should allow you to much more reliably camera match an Enscape building to an existing photo. In this article, we’ll be going over how to camera match the perspective of an image using Enscape.
