Organic Modelling DVD 1 Problem
I usually do my modelling in C4D ir Lightwave, and use Maya for animation, but I want to learn to model in Maya. Does anybody have any ideas on how to sort out this image plane problem? It is unuseable as it is, and was created using the exact steps Kurt used in the DVD.
Please help!
Cheers,
Malcolm

Try just using a Poly plain and assign the image to the plain like i did in the dvd... Using the poly plain will be alot less work to set up.
I just use the default setting and unites....

1) Create a poly plane and centre it using the 'f' key
2) Rotate it 90 degrees in X
3) Duplicate it
4) Rotate te duplicate 90 degrees in Y
5) Open Hypershade
6) Create a Lambert
7) Add a file texture to the node (front image)
8) Select the front plane and right click on the Lambert
9) Select 'Assign to Selected'
Result: Exactly what the attached pic looks like.
