The above new videos take users through the quick step-by-step process of automatically matching accurately 3d cameras to photographs with a click of a button, using this amazing new Extension / Script / tool named CameraMatch AutoSetup v6 .
Camera Matching from a simple photograph has never been this easy and straightforward. This unique new Script / Extension currently works with, Sketchup, Blender, Cinema 4D and 3ds Max .
However, versions of Maya, Revit, Autocad, and others will be available soon. CameraMatch AutoSetup v6 is an automated camera matching tool for SketchUp, Blender, Cinema 4D and 3ds Max, that uses advanced computer vision algorithms to detect vanishing points/lines in photographs and automatically create perfectly aligned 3d cameras for 3d scenes and architectural visualisations.
Key Features:
• Automatic Vanishing Point Detection — Uses Hough transform and RANSAC algorithms
• Horizon Line Visualisation — Automatically calculates and displays the true horizon
• Physical Camera Creation —Creates properly configured Physical cameras with accurate FOV
• Auto Resolution Matching — Matches render output to background image resolution
• FBX Export — Export cameras for use in other applications
• Viewport Background — Automatically sets overlay image with VP lines and horizon
• GeoBuild —is a SketchUp toolkit that turns the slow, error-prone job of building a 3D map into a few clicks. Type an address (or paste a bbox), point it at an OpenStreetMap file, and it assembles a geo-referenced scene — terrain, satellite drape, extruded buildings, width-by-class road ribbons, and land features (parks, waterways, POIs) — all under one root helper sharing a real-world metric frame, ready for CameraMatch. New in v1.3: one-click Auto-fetch for free DEM + aerial, and opt-in Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles — the same photogrammetric mesh Google Earth uses, dropped straight into your scene.

Major Update Released for Sketchup, 3ds Max and Cinema 4D on 17 April 2026:
• Scene Scale Calculator — match scene units to real-world dimensions in a single click, no more tweaking System Unit Setup by hand.
 |
| Scene Scale Calculator for SketchUp |
• Cropped Photo Tool — Pads a cropped photograph vertically with neutral fill so its horizon sits at mid-height, letting the VP detector produce an accurate camera match that you then crop back to original framing in post.

• Background Mode — Toggle the camera's background between the diagnostic VP overlay, the clean photo, and hidden, at any point, without re-running detection or disturbing the solved camera or scene geometry.
 |
| Background Mode for SketchUp |
• Camera Transplant improvements — VP verify boxes are now carried across with the camera, and tilt/shift/lens properties are faithfully preserved across all renderer-specific cameras.

• Iterative overlay naming — previous VP detection overlays are preserved (numbered 1, 2, _3…) instead of being overwritten, so you can compare runs.

Small firms benefit most from efficiency gains. At this price the tool pays for itself in a single project by saving 15–20 hours of manual camera matching.
- Up to 5 named workstations
- All platforms: SketchUp, Blender + 3ds Max + Cinema 4D editions
Lifetime access to v6 updates
- Full VP detection + horizon line + FBX export + Scene Scale Calculator + Renderer-aware camera creation + Camera Transplant improvements + Cropped Photo Tool + Background Mode + Iterative overlay naming + Scrollable / resizable panel
- Priority email support
- DroneSiteBuilder Enterprise is a single-file for SketchUp, Blender , 3ds Max and Cinema 4D toolkit that compresses the traditional 6–8 hour drone-photo to 3D site pipeline (Lightroom + Global Mapper + NOAA LiDAR + manual camera matching) into about 90 seconds — one click, no exports, nothing leaves SketchUp, Blender, 3ds Max or Cinema 4D. Drop in a drone DNG or JPEG (DJI / Skydio / any drone that writes XMP) and the embedded GPS, altitude and gimbal bearing drive a full camera setup automatically. New: opt-in Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles — fetches Google's photogrammetric mesh for the site's bbox straight into SketchUp, Blender, 3ds Max or Cinema 4D in place of (or alongside) the layered terrain + aerial + OSM build.
Also, DroneSiteBuilder comes packaged/bundled with CameraMatch AutoSetup Studio license, fully integrated with Geobuild and CameraMatch AutoSetup scripts / extensions.

- Optional Rural / Landscape checkbox. This function ignores foliage and sky before detection and focuses on structural elements (tree trunks, road edges, kerbs, buildings). Corrects small detection errors that would otherwise tilt the horizon line on level shots.
- New Force level horizon (always zero roll) checkbox, independent of Landscape mode. Unconditionally snaps the camera's roll to zero regardless of the detected value. Pitch is left untouched, giving a flat-horizon starting point from which manual refinement is straightforward.
