I am about to begin modeling a car, and I have all four of my blueprint images (top, side, front, rear) ready to go. I was just wondering if anybody has any tips about the best way to bring them into the scene for reference while modeling.

I would like to assign them to planes that I can arrange in the proper views, but what about keeping their proper scales, etc?

thanks.

What you want is Maya's 'Image Planes'

They are for attaching reference images to different views/cameras.

Look up image planes in online help file.
