Hey ppl,



What is the best way to set up image planes in 3d max? Can anyone give me a step by step description or link me to a tutorial explaining how to do this? Also explain step by step of how to put a image or reference into a image plane? I want a side and front view.



I’m having trouble getting started, what I want to do is make a human figure (man). I am doing thus.

I am creating a 8 sided cylinder and lining it up to the leg then I am going to convert to/convert to an editing polly. Then i go to the vertex button and click it. Instead of giving me 3 vertex points I get 8 pints. All I want is 3 because that what this tutorial was telling me to use. Em i doing something wrong or can anyone help me out?



Also a friend of mine helped me put in the image planes thats why im asking I dont know how to put them in for the next time. Are they right?


Thanks,
Rusty

well, you can either create them yourself using a single poly and mapping the texture onto it, or you can use the many scripts people have made (myself included) to do it for you.

Here's mine:
