ZModeler Background image

Recommended Posts

Alright, so I've started diving further into creating my own 3D models. The problem is blueprints that I have from KME, Pierce, etc. are of course huge.

So when I crop them to create the background images, they end up really squished, even when I re-scale them they still are compressed. Does anybody have any ideas on an exact image size to use?

Most car modelling video tutorials start with instructions on how to set up the blueprints. Interestingly enough I could only find a couple such tutorials for ZModeler (admittedly I didn't really look that hard) but here is one, in Portuguese... Try to imitate what he's doing but I'm sure you can find English tutorials to help you out. 

 

If you a beginner like me, you could take a look at Blender. I find it quite newb friendly with hundreds of tutorials helping you every step of the way. I think it's a good enough software for the level of detail EM4 requires. There is also a script for Blender that lets you export in v3o format, so you don't need ZModeler at all.
