Compositing with shadow/Cam.Calibration

[contegufo]

Hi

Having set an object to a photograph are needed perspective planes equal. The tutorial manual Indigo indicates the procedure using a background image very simple.
With the loaded image in Cinema 4D I have to use the option Camera Calibration?
But I did not understand, made the calibration, how can I enter the model and the surface on which you will project the shadow.

Thank you!

Erm, did you use the help function in C4D? It explains the whole workflow very clearly.
If not, take a look here:

Give your floor plane a simple diffuse material (or what you want) and activate "shadow catcher" in the extra options. Place your model on that floor, and then switch to Indigo GUI.
In the render settings, activate "Foreground Alpha" if not activated in the Cindigo settings.
Switch to "Imaging" and load your backplate into the "Image path" field under Background plate overlay.
Now you can adjust your perspective and lighting, and render it out. You have to do the finmal compositing in PS or wherever.

I know, maybe I'm too late, but there is a tutotial in greyscalegorilla.com very useful
