Modeling with image template in model view ? // New Users

Hello,


I am new to TS and come from Blender.


I am trying to build a 19th century warship under TS, like I did under Blender.


I have seen one of the TS course where a hull is created, but ist is created from scratch and not on the basis of an exact plan of the hull.


To build the hull in Blender I have been using background image of the exact plan of the vessel, and a nurb surface created with curves.


I have seen something similar in TS with the organic modeling course, but using polygons. Nurbs seem to not be available under the workspace view, while they are under the model view.


The problem is that when I use the organic course method under the model view, the template image on the plane (which therefore should be the plan of the vessel) does not display correctly. Same on the draw panel, I only see some rough pixels.


Can someone explain how I can simply build a hull based on the exact plans, with nurbs ?


Thx


Endive

Sounds like you may just need to adjust the texture resolution that you see whilst working - there are some settings that allow you to adjust the quality of textures used in the real-time display on model side - I suggest you have a quick look at Tom's 'bitesize' tutorials at the thread below;
