Hi all,


Could someone tell me if it is possible to replace the work grid with my own image (I need to trace over some map data)?


I know you can change the background image but this is just static (as far as i am aware)?

Background image is just static and no good for modeling against - add planes with images on them for that. See the Organics modeling tutorial as an example of how that is done.


HTH!

For the Workspace you can create a Plane and apply a Constant Texture. Position it where you like, shown here just below the Grid, you can then right click the Matrix and select Expand. This will lock it into place and it will not move when selected.
