Crop and setting up images planes.

BojanStankovski

Hey guys, i really need your help. I am trying to set up images planes in photoshop, and then set up inside in 3D max 2012 for modeling. I am trying to crop and line up this image reference from the blueprints site

T17E1 Staghound Armored Car
http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/tanks/tanks-t/25885/view/t17e1_staghound_armored_car/

But, i am not really sure what i am doing, or what should i do. But end up with really weird image planes in 3D max, one is smaller than others, one is wide than others.

Any help:D

Several people have made scripts to solve this, check them out.

Thanks for the script, i was searching the blueprints manager, so, first i need to crop all 4 images in photoshop, and use the script for importing in 3D max?

With blueprint manager you will have to crop the images and create the images corresponding to the views. Just make sure you make the sizes equal, like front=back. If you don't want that you can setup some planes in max like you did and add an UVWMap modifier to it and there you can click bitmap fit. You can move the image with the uv sliders. But I think that using the manager is better. Takes less time with aligning the images.

I see, i am having problem, how to make the size equal, like front back, side top.
