I have been asked to produce a number of photomontages of I site I will be starting work on soon. I will be modeling the site in 3D Studio Max, and then finishing them off in Photoshop, including stitching the photos etc. I have done this on many occasions, however this time it has been that the photographer take a panoramic photo to pass onto me to use.

My current method is to align each photo in Max individually and then snap these renders to the stitched montage in Photoshop. Although this can give a slight stepped effect, this is prefferable over the blend alternative at this stage buy the client.

My question is - has anyone completed an accurate photomontage using a panoramic photo? (not a stitched montage but a raw photo), and if so can you just adjust Max`s camera settings - lens and FOV?

I have matched varying lense settings before, but nothing to this degree of distortion.

Any ideas would be great
