A photo board is simply a digital image that is oriented vertically in your 3D workspace. You can import any image you want — your family, pets, neighbor’s house — the only limit is your imagination. The handy Photo Board Wizard does it all in a few quick steps.
To import a photo board:
Select File > Import > Photo Board Wizard.
Click Next.
Type a name for your photo board.
Click the Select button, then select the image you want to import. You can import BMP, JPG and TGA files. The image is displayed in the preview window.
Define the size of the image by entering values in the Height and Width edit boxes.
Click Next.
Specify whether you want the photo board to be stationary or active. If Stationary is selected, the board will always remain oriented the same way, regardless of changes in your camera angle. If Billboard is selected, the photo board will rotate toward the camera so it will always face you in 3D.
Click Next.
Click Finish. The photo board is attached to your cursor, ready to be inserted.
Position the photo board where you want it, then click to insert it.
Right-click and select Finish.
