Cannot fit entire image onto a polygon plane — only half the image appears

Hello

 

I'd like to fit a product image into a polygon plane for reference. What I tried so far is to create a polygon plane, rotate & resize it to fit the aspect ratio of the image to be loaded on using the Lambert node. The problem is upon loading the image in the Lambert node, only half of the image appeared in the plane:Screenshot 2021-02-05 at 4.53.29 PM.png

 

Rescaling the reference plane resizes only the half image, despite the fact that I adopted the same method to load a different image last time. Please someone help me work out how to load the entire image onto the reference plane.

 

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I spent a few hours tinkering with the reference plane and it turns out the best way to set up a reference plane is to add a NURBS plane and set a Lambert node to load an image onto it. Lo and behold, the image is automatically fitted inside the NURBS plane!

welcome to the world of UV mapping. Most likely you created polyPlane and deleted half of it.

And, btw, you might wish to get familiar with ImagePlane nodes. Go to any viewport View>ImagePlane>ImportImage... Use transform tools or plane's attributes to position for your need.
