i rendered a image from my camera and i want to now re project that render back using the same view from the camera and have it align 1-1. I’m using the texture coordinate node and before was using a empty to manually align it but I was having difficulty matching it so I’ve switched to using the camera as the object but the scale is completely off
Not sure what you are trying to do exactly but maybe you want to use the rendered image as a background image for your camera and then delete the objects.
You need to do that in the compositor.
Here I rendered the red cube and saved the result, then I deleted the cube and added a sphere, I set the render to “film transparent” in render properties and setup the compositor as shown.
The render of the red cube is now a background image.
