3DSMax 9

Post by Scorpius »

Hi Guys,

A quick question for those of us using 3ds Max, whenever I import the view background, the top view is always bigger then the side or front views. The views are cropped from a 3d drawing. Generally the difference is around 10%.

Any pointers please?

Regards,

Nev

Yeah, don't use backgrounds. Create a box the size of your plane, texture it with the background images, and then flip all the polygons. Now you have an "inside out box". Delete the faces you don't need and you have a perfect base to build your new model.

Hope this helps,
Tom Gibson
