How To Composite/match A 2d Sky Into A 3d Turn

[user_deleted]

Any suggestions? I have a sequence rendered out of max with no sky which does just about a 180 degree camera pan.

Problem is when i place the 2D sky replacement, obviously it doesnt rotate to match the sequence. Any tricks of the trade to give the illusion that my 2D sky is adjusting to the pan?

i tried matching it in AE using an RPF camera export from max, but it just doesnt look right. Its as if they're rotating/panning at different speeds.

any techniques in shake i can possibly use? Is this scenario common in the industry?

any key factors im missing?

Thanks, any guidance is appreciated.

Here are your options.

1) Texture the inside of a dome in your 3D scene with an HDRI sky and render.
2) Render a traking pass and use it to track in the sky.
3) Render a UV map and use it to warp the sky in shake with the following node:

CODE
DisplaceX1 = DisplaceX(0, 0, 1, width*r, height*g, 0, xDelta);

4) Output your camera information as a .MA file and input it into the multiplane node.
5) Hand track the sky using move2D or Move3D nodes
6) Do a 2 point track from the render, play with the paralax untill you have the movement looking realistic

I suggest that you read "the art and science of digital compositing" by ron brinkman for an understanding of some of these processes.
