Hey all...

I was just wondering if there was any way of importing images into maya 4.5 unlimited, so i could use them as a backing and mould around them, if you understand me? :hmm:

Basicly lets say i had a car then i could shape polygons or whatever around the car, etc..

Hope you understand as i aint too good at explaining my self :)

for bg images in your mdelling window...

In each view, press: View>Camera Attribute Editor A window will reveal itself and you can scroll down until you see a tab titled Environments. Expand this item and chose "create image plane"

All of this is explained in the Gnomon School's freebie QT video section. That's where I learned it.
