[Req] Background image composition

Post by neo0. » Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:28 pm

Would it be possible to automatically add the background image into the renderer? If not automatic, could it do it "manually"?

You mean watermark images?

Whoops, my bad. Yeah, that's what I mean.. Like where you overlay an image over the background in your workspace. My request was to be able render the watermark image along with the rest of the render.

What I was basically saying was that even if the sketchup API still didn't allow access to it (I think I mentioned this awhile back) but there could still be a manual approach. After you set the watermark image in sketchup, you could feed the same image into skindigo and it, in conjunction with indigo, it could simply reproduce it, as it would have been.

You happen to know that there's GIMP and Photoshop, and tons of other image processing tools... which are integral part of the process of building one image, and which give you the tools you ask.
