› › HOW TO

Step Nine: Once the 3D planes are

positioned, go back to the 3D panel and

select Current View again. Then go to the

Properties panel, click on the View drop-

down menu, and choose Default Cam-

era. This will spin the camera around so

it’s perpendicular to the image.

Step 10: Now go down to the FOV set-

ting in the Properties panel and set it to

25 to get a slightly wider view of the 3D

layers. The 3D objects will appear to jump

back in space. It’s merely changing the

view based on the virtual lens change.

Step 10

Step Nine

Step 11: In the Options Bar, choose the

Slide the 3D Camera tool. Hold the Shift

key and then click-and-drag down to

move the camera closer to the 3D lay-

ers. Stop when the 3D backdrop image

fits in the frame. At this point the water

layer may need some position tweaks so

it fills the bottom of the frame. Just click

on the Water object in the 3D panel,

and use the widget like we did before to

adjust its position.

Step 12: Now let’s make some changes

to the surface behavior of the water

layer. Be aware that 3D reflections aren’t

visible until you initiate a render. So we’ll

go through the steps here in the 3D and

Properties panels, and then when we

render, you’ll magically see a reflection.

Start by selecting the Water Mat object

in the 3D panel. In the Properties panel,

set the Shine and Reflection to 75%,

and add just a touch of Roughness at

about 3%. That will do for now.
