Could you send me a screen shot or something? I'm interested to see how it is for you. The only ways you can use camera overlays are -

1. Edit a camera and go to the overlays drop down and select image overlay
2. Go to prepare object properties, after turning the image overlay option on in step 1, then select the images you want to use and record them into the timeline.

What's your workaround?

allow me to just say........DOH !!.......... turns out the option is back and I've been doing my stupid thing of not being able to find it, thanks for this post.

The work around I was going to be using was having the camera image overlay as a background then a background behind that showing a second camera with the main camera looking through the overlay background and the video one so I can move the second camera without the overlay seemingly moving.]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 22:08:19 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1766-um-what-happened-to-the-old-backdrop-items-.aspx Message from Jamie theKodu wrote:

Hi theKodu - did updating your drivers fix the problem with the camera overlays as well?]]> Mon, 07 May 2012 11:10:13 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1766-um-what-happened-to-the-old-backdrop-items-.aspx Message from WozToons ]]> Fri, 04 May 2012 23:42:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1766-um-what-happened-to-the-old-backdrop-items-.aspx Message from theKodu WozToons wrote:
It's a bug with 0.19b. They are all still there but do not display in the menu. The easiest way is to search with just one letter. This applies to some blob textures as well.

Basically, anything you can't find, search for using one or two letters, B for bricks, C for city, etc..

Hope this helps. Have a good Sunday.

thanks for this info I thought I had really messed up.
if possible could you help with two other issues I've managed to run into ?

Firstly I can seem to use the camera overlays now (I'm guessing this might be a case of the same this as sets)
Also a second issue I recently upgraded my AMD graphics driver to the latest version and I don't know if its that but the panelled doors are messing up, normal doors are fine by any of the doors with panelling effect its like the UV map isn't being put over the object correctly so there's random patches of transparency and just like black marks etc, it only seems to be happening with the pannel doors though prior to a reinstall I did have the same problem with the arcade machine (to a lesser degree ) and one of the sets of draws.]]> Fri, 04 May 2012 20:54:48 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1766-um-what-happened-to-the-old-backdrop-items-.aspx Message from Jamie Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:25:10 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1766-um-what-happened-to-the-old-backdrop-items-.aspx Message from fman00 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:56:12 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1766-um-what-happened-to-the-old-backdrop-items-.aspx Message from WozToons

Hopefully someone can tell me what I've done wrong somewhere now lol]]> Sun, 29 Apr 2012 04:35:59 GMT
