Alpha Channel or something
Ive been wondering whats the best way to incorporate my render and a 2d picture. I found this tutorial but its in Russian and for 3dsmax. https://www.3dcar.kg/tutorial/less03.htm
Any tutorials like that for Maya? From what i understand, u render out the picture, then save the alpha channel, and in photoshop make the alpha determine the transparency of the 3d render over the 2d pic?

Compositing is the way to go for this type of thing.
However, what that tutorial was talking about was basic camera matching and/or mapping.
In Maya, we have the "use background" shader for this simple process
Check the docs under, Material types, use background.
Hope that helped!
