Photo & Video Compositing
Playlist
The ultimate Reality, in minutes
Beyond Typicals now has the built-in ability to blend real-world site photos with 3D models in a fraction of the time needed with other methods. The end result can be one of the most photo-realistic representations of a proposed project possible – as an image OR video for your street or bridge design project.
While other photo compositing workflows involve multiple software applications, Beyond Typicals allows full compositing in a single software package.
This cutting-edge functionality allows you to seamlessly blend and manipulate 3D Beyond Typicals models within your existing images, unlocking endless possibilities for your transportation projects.
With this new photo compositing feature, you can now:
- Import project images and easily superimpose Beyond Typicals models onto them for a truly immersive visual experience.
- Effortlessly adjust the scale, position, and orientation of your 3D models within the image for the perfect composition.
- Tweak lighting and shadows to create realistic, harmonious interactions between your 3D models and the existing image elements.
- Render as image or video in any resolution.

- Customize the size, position, and opacity of your watermark to maintain the visual integrity of your composition while still asserting your ownership.
- Apply a “Preliminary” watermark across your image to indicate that the content is not final, safeguarding your drafts and work-in-progress designs.
- Choose from built-in watermark templates or import your own custom design, giving you complete control over the look and feel of your watermark. The built-in watermarks include DRAFT, PRELIMINARY, both in straight and rotated variations.
- Add up to 5 images that could include organization logos, project logos, draft watermarks, existing site photos and more.
