3D object composition as part of a 2D digital image through use of a visual guide

Abstract:

Techniques and systems are described in which a visual guide is employed as part of an image processing system to aid composition of a 3D object as part of a digital image. In one example, the image processing system receives inputs that specify an orientation of a plane in the user interface. In response, the image processing system outputs the visual guide in the user interface as corresponding to the plane. The image processing system then orients a 3D object based on the plane defined by the visual guide, to which, rendering techniques are then applied such as physics-based rendering and image-based lighting.
