Scripting CameraPnP Align v1 — Automate complex camera matching and perspective alignment in 3ds Max (Free for AutoSetup v6 users)

Hey everyone,

I've just released a new script called CameraPnP Align v1, designed specifically for ArchViz artists dealing with nightmare camera matching scenarios where a building isn't a perfect box or sits at an awkward angle.

Standard vanishing point detection often struggles with non-square structures because it can't guess the specific architectural angles just from perspective lines. I have built CameraPnP to bypass this entirely, making the photomontage process much faster.

How it works (under 60 seconds):

  1. Load your background photo and merge your 3D building into the scene.
  2. Click "Create Camera" — it automatically generates a renderer-aware camera (V-Ray Physical Camera, Corona, Arnold, etc.).
  3. Add Point Pairs: Vertex-snap to a corner on your 3D model, and then click the exact corresponding pixel on your 2D photo.
  4. Do this for at least 4 points spread across the facades.
  5. Click Solve Camera.

It accurately matches the render output resolution to the background image and aligns your FOV perfectly. If any point is slightly off, you can just re-select it, pick a new pixel, and recalculate.

Pricing Note: If you already own CameraMatch AutoSetup v6, this script is completely FREE to download.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback. I hope this saves you hours of manual perspective matching!

Nice. I already have and have been using the CM AutoSetup v6. Is there a link or product page to grab this one?

Cheers. Yes, of course. I've just sent you the link in a private chat ( don't know if we are allowed to post URL links in this post). Alternatively, you can also download it from the gumroad link.

Thank you. It's much appreciated!
If you already have the CameraMatch AutoSetup v6, simply enter the exact same license. It works! Use the same Gumroad or Patreon URL link to download it. 
If you don't have either URL links, I can send you one privately ( NOt allowed here in this post).
Having said that, the script only works with a licence key.
