Backdrops & Floor

Backdrop

The 9 backdrop shapes

Open Backdrop, choose a shape and click Add. A rig has one backdrop. Applying a kit creates one for you if Set Backdrop is on.

The Backdrop section

Shape What it is
L Curve (Cyclorama) Floor sweeping up into one back wall
S Curve Floor stepping up to a raised plateau
C Curve Floor, back wall and an overhanging ceiling
Half Pipe Floor between two curved side walls
Corner Back wall and side wall meeting at a sharp corner
Curve Cove Back wall and side wall with a rounded corner
Quarter Dome Half-dome shell wrapping behind the subject
Half Dome Dome shell around the subject, open at the front
Cylinder Stand Round product pedestal

Controls

  • Shape dropdown switches shape. The new shape loads its own default sizes.
  • Size controls change with the shape: Width, Depth, Height, the curve radii, Wrap for the domes and Side for Corner and Curve Cove.
  • Segments sets how smooth the curves are.
  • The colour swatch and Roughness set the backdrop's material.
  • The trash icon removes the backdrop.

Everything stays editable after you add the backdrop.

Floor

Open Floor, set Floor Size and click Add Shadow Catcher. The floor is invisible in the render except for the shadows that fall on it, so your model can sit on a transparent or HDRI background. It works in Cycles and EEVEE.

Note

The backdrop and floor do not follow Rig Transform. Use Fit Rig to Selection to move them under a model.
