Hello There,
I want to keep my loader's original footage size (keyed out actor) in the 3D scene when i pipe it into an Imageplane
At the moment i am a bit confused by the imageplane's scale properties in the Transform tab.

Cause standard the scale is on 1.0 when you get the node into the flow.

Now my question is:
-does scale 1.0 in the imageplane --> means that my footage will stay at it's original file size when it comes into the 3d scene?

The reason i am asking is, cause i want to make sure that i don't get any pixel troubles later in the 3Drenderer.

Thanx in front

The scale in the 3D world has nothing to do with pixels. The image will mapped entirely. So if you make the size 0.01 and then move the camera really close to it, to fill the screen the full resolution will be used.

Pipe your image into the camera instead of a 3D plane.

By doing this it will be always with the same size in relation to it.

Inside the camera controls, you can adjust the distance of the image plane in relation to the camera in order to place it correctly in relation to the other 3D objects you have.
