Hi all..is there a tutorial on here about how to create your own backdrops using Daz Cyclorama? I have an image of a road..and would like to create a backdrop using it to make the road look more deep

Thanks :)

    I don't know of any tutorial, but you can simply load the texture into the cyclorama by loading the cyclorama you wish to edit and choosing your texture as the surface in the surface tab. I usually load the beach one and delete any of the little sandy hillocks that I don't think fits.

    If you go here http://www.daz3d.com/multiplane-cyclorama you will find a template installer under resources. Simply install it to a folder on your hard drive, it doesn't need to go into any prgram. I have my templates in a folder called templates.

    Then open your paint prgram, whichever one you use and open the template.

    Open an existing texture for the cyclorama, to check how it is done and then try applying your road as a layer onto the template, so you can see how you need to manipulate it to get your texture to fit.

    Once you ar happy you can then apply it to the cuclorama as a texture in your prgram (DS or whatever)

    Thanks Chohole! I'm going to try that myself. Didn't know about the template organzier before. =-)
