I set an image plane when I render but it is in front of the model and not behind it.

Any suggestion?

Try using a polygon image plane you can easly place that behind your model............dave

As dave said, put the image on a poly plane. If you put it as the camera image (which looks like you have it currently) it'll render out like you're getting.

Also, sorry to be a stick in the mud. But this advice is not really something you should get into the habit of doing. you should use the camera image plane rather than a poly plane.

Set the depth of your plane in the image plane attributes.

Yeah I agree with dom, its best not to use a poly plane for this. Instead bring up your outliner by clicking Window>Outliner. Then in outliner expand the camera your rendering from (prob "persp") and then expand the shape node. You should then be able to click "imagePlane1". Press Ctrl+a to bring up attributes and then in the 2nd box down called "Placement" you should have a depth value thats prob set to 100 by default. Just increase this until you have enough distance for your model to be viewed through camera. user added image

Hope it helps, Ckyuk.
