backdrop not working
 

Hy, I'm really glad I found this forum, but now I have an urgent question

I want to load a backdrop but its not working, I'm not getting why, done it before and it worked but thats long ago. I tried bolth JPG and GIF ,lightW doesn't show them in the load menu where he calls the extention 'image' and when clicked on, it just doesn't load at all :hug:

what method are you using to load it, for a backdrop you go to edit/ backdrop options, click on the backdrop tab, click on the image drop down box, and select load image...... is that what u are doing??

yeah thats the method I'm trying ,if thats the only methot there then I'll have too see if I can grab a 3D teacher at school this week, they usually fix my misdoings >_>;

I'v started on the project though without backdrop, its messy and it takes longer but I'll get there.

Make sure that your scaling is correct ... load the backdrop into modeller without any geometry then press the 'a' key to autofit.

Failing that, try loading the image into the image editor - if it doesn't show in there then there's an issue with the format of your image [IIRC LW doesn't like Gifs and JPEGS that are saved in the JPEG2000 format].

Ha wow it works , thanks man, sooooo much :attn:
