In just a few simple steps, we can grab a stock asset from the Substance Collection and apply it to a scene
‘Sitting’ a CGI object convincingly into a live scene, whether a photograph or video, has always been one of the most complex tasks to master for a CGI artist. This is because there is a lot of information from the actual scene that needs to be gathered correctly, and combined to give the ‘equation’ of how the computer will adjust the computer image to fit. Naturally, a lot of this is down to the skill and experience of the CG artist, who can interpret the correct solution for the scene when all the information is not available – if for example, the scene to match is a stock image.
