Hi Alex,
If you want to import your photographs as flat images then Move offers the ability to import vertical images using two control points (the top left and bottom right of the image). You can find out more information on this in our August newsletter. The article refers to map images, but the same functionality can be applied to sections and digital photographs.

As a few folk have already pointed out, you can also import 3D models generated from various applications that will stitch your photographs together to create a 3D image (Autodesk 123DCatch is free, but there are many other packages available). Many of these applications produce an OBJ file which will be supported in Move2016.1. We are also adding additional capability to project images onto outcrop data in the next version of the software - available in January 2016.
If you need any assistance with your images in Move then don't hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
Roddy

Subject: Cliff face photos in 3D space
Dear all,
I’m currently working on a 3D geological model of an open pit located in a polydeformed metamorphic terrain and I would like to import and georeference cliff face photos in 3D space. The photos have control points in X,Y and Z. Does anybody have experience on how to proceed for doing this? I would preferentially like to use the Surpac, Move or GeoModeller softwares, but, perhaps there is a better choice?
Thank you for your help,
