The above new video takes 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 Script/tool named CameraMatch AutoSetup v6 .

Camera Matching from a simple photograph has never been this easy and straightforward. This unique new script currently works with, 3ds Max and Blender. However, versions of Maya, Sketchup, Revit, Autocad, and others will be available next week. CameraMatch AutoSetup v6 is an automated camera matching tool for 3ds Max, Blender and Maya, 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 visualisation.
Key Features:Automatic Vanishing Point Detection — Uses Hough transform and RANSAC algorithmsHorizon 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

Recommended AI Rendering Applications

AI tools that take a basic SketchUp or 3D render with background photography and integrate the two seamlessly as one photo with correct lighting. 

After matching your camera with CameraMatch AutoSetup v6, the next step is often compositing your 3D model into the background photograph with realistic lighting, materials, and atmosphere. 

The following AI-powered applications can take a basic render from SketchUp, Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, Revit, or other 3D software and seamlessly blend it with background photography — automatically handling lighting integration, material enhancement, and environmental context to produce a photorealistic final image.

Verified Views for planning application 3ds Max Script

Key Aspects of Verified Views

"Verified Views" are distinct from standard artistic photomontages due to a rigorous, data-driven process: 

  • Survey Data: The process involves a professional surveyor recording the exact camera location, height, lens details, GPS data, and specific key points in the physical environment.
Camera Tripod 

Survey Equipment : GeoMax robotic total station with reflectorless measurements up to 1,000 metres and 3mm + 2ppm distance measuring accuracy. GPS - GeoMax GNSS receiver


Survey Data Coordinates extracted

  • Accurate 3D Model Alignment: This survey data is used to accurately align a detailed 3D model of the proposed development within the real-world photograph, ensuring correct scale, perspective, and spatial relationships.

  • Council Compliance: This methodology ensures the final image is a robust and defensible representation of the proposed development, which is often a key requirement for local authorities when assessing visual impact. 

Companies work with architects, developers, and planning consultants to produce the necessary documentation to aid in securing planning approvals.


This unique new tutorial takes users through the step-by-step process of creating an entire new Verified View Accurately, with one click of a button, using this Amazing New 3ds Max script.

Within less than one second, this amazing new script Automatically and Simultaneously creates accurate survey points in the scene, based on the surveyor’s information.

With one simple click, this new 3ds max script, will save users countless hours of work per verified view, or days, if working on multiple camera views.

Creating verified views for planning applications has never been easier, quicker and more accurate. 


Key 3ds Max Script features instantly/automatically created simultaneously with one click:

1-Accurately creates and places the survey point coordinates in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

2- Accurately creates and places the physical camera in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

3- Accurately creates and places the daylight system in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.  

4- Accurately creates, names and places the physical camera in the 3ds Max scene instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

5- Accurately sets up the render Output Size and padlocks it based on the background image size instantly using/sourcing the data from the surveyor and the photographer’s data spreadsheet.

6- Automatically enables the “Show Safe Frames” functionality and inserts the camera viewport background image being directly sourced from the "images" folder.

7-And much more…


*Latest Updates for this 3ds Max Script : 

The script now looks at a folder named "images" to directly source the camera viewport background image from. The settings.csv file NO LONGER has the " viewport_background_image" column to enter the directory and file name. 

So, users can simply place/replace and rename any viewport background image file in the "images" folder. The folders named "images" and "settings" CANNOT BE RENAMED though.


The Full 3ds Max script comes with the following:

1-The 3ds Max script



2-The "settings" spreadsheet file with the scene's settings data (*.csv)



3-The surveyor's "Survey_Data_Coordinates" spreadsheet file (*.csv)


 


4-The surveyor's background image for view 6



5-The folders/directory already setup 


















6-Reference files/material




Key Notes:

The 3ds Max script requires two separate spreadsheet files in order to instantly generate the entire scene with accurate survey data points, physical camera, background image, daylight system, etc:

1-One spreadsheet file with survey coordinates

2-Another spreadsheet file with the scene settings.

The spreadsheet file formats need to be *.csv, otherwise the 3ds Max script will generate errors when running.

The folders and file names cannot have spaces between the words. Use underscores instead. Otherwise, the 3ds Max script will generate errors when running.  

The surveyor’s coordinate spreadsheet file with survey coordinates needs to be in the same folder as the 3ds Max script.

The spreadsheet file named settings.csv needs to be in separate folder named “settings”. The folder names CANNOT be renamed.

The csv file names can be renamed according to their project names (e.g. V6_scene_settings.csv) .    

There can only be one main spreadsheet csv file in each of the folders the 3ds max script will be  referencing from.
