Matched Photo

SketchUp

So, I modelled a car - very proud of it, and I want to add a Matched Photo.

Here’s the car I modelled,

And here’s the photo I want to match.
Problem is, I am unable to line the car with the photo.

Help, teach me how to line everything up.
Also, the photo that I am using, I feel needs 3 points and not 2 points.
thanks

You will want to chnage the FOV of the camera, not just position it.You can find instructions here

Well, the thing is, I need the camera to be above the model, not like how 2-point perspective is. I sort of need 3-point view, or at least 2-point but the camera angle is slightly higher. I don’t think that Matched Photo can do that, but if it’s able to do so, please let me know.
And also, the FOV of the camera seems to do some… things like changing its value. Normally, is set to 30 degrees but after I do the Matched Photo, the FOV is 57 degrees and I change it back to 30 degrees then do New Matched Photo, deleting the previous.
I’m not sure.

Alright, I know what to do know.
There’s the yellow horizontal line - that’s the horizon - and by moving it up, or down, the angle of the model which the photo is going to match, can change from 2-point perspective to a isometric-like view.
Thanks for the help @liamk887.

Of course, now, I have to this very odd Matched Photo thing. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. :wink:
