Greetings!
First off, let me thank you for the chance to learn a bit from all of you. Just like I wrote in some of the topics I opened here, I'm a beginner.
The problem I've been facing this time, however, is related to the blueprint.
I cropped the picture correctly using Photoshop. The TOP View of the car, for example, is this size: 738 X 333. So, I open MAX, I create a 738 by 333 plane, I hit M, click on diffuse box, select Bitmap, select the picture and "voilá". The tutorials I've been following, everything goes well from this part on. In my case, when I select the picture, it appears very tiny on the Material Editor Box - in the videos I watch, the picture appears well proportioned, in my case, it appears small and crooked. Is it anything I'm doing wrong, perhaps, in Photoshop or even when creating the plane? Or maybe it's a specific setting in the Material Editor Box which I don't know about?
I'd be glad if I got a bit lightened up with your help.
Greatefully,
Daniel
Hello. Thanks for the reply.
It didn't help much. I checked and unchecked both Real Size boxes and made no difference. Is there any way to assign the picture to the object automatically or must I use UVW MAP and change the size of the gizmo until I have the wanted results?
Thanks again.

Thanks a lot for taking your time to answer.
I could solve the problem the following way. When I select the Bitmap, there are these settings that go like this: Offset and SIZE. The SIZE part was different from the real size of the picture, so I changed the numbers to be as same as the the size of the plane and the picture. Then it worked. Although the quality of the image isn't good at all. But at least the picture fits the plane properly.
Thanks a lot. I'm very very thankful.
Daniel.
