Hi can someone help,

I am going through some of the tutorials that I have downloaded from, simplymaya.com. I am currently doing the, Mummy tutorial, and the problem is that in the beginning, the tutor takes you through setting up and assigning .jps to the planes.
My problem is that, when I assign the .jpg front view to the plane, using exactly the same technique, I dont see anything on the plane. I used drag and drop using middle mouse button and also doing a right click in lanmbert material in the hypershade and, assign material to selected.

I have a missed something.
PPPPPPPLLLLLEEEEAASSSSeeee can someone help, as I know there are really talented people out there who love to help beginners...lol

Thanks and Regards
Adnan Zia

I would think it's as easy as doing what cb8rhw said. Hit the 6 key and you should be good to go.

I'm having a problem as well. I've imported an image into the front view camera via the camera attributes. All that I get is a black plane, even after pressing 6. However, a different image that i used to just test the feature, worked. Now using a different image with the same compression, .jpg - 64k, won't work. Does anyone have any idea?
