Reference Planes

In class I learned on how to import and make my first reference planes for a tank. I used a number of techniques from importing a a GIF image and editing the image on a plane using the UVWMap tool.

I was able to move the image around the plane and make it fit to scale. I saw in richards pictures on the blog on how he had a vertical and horizontal plane. I then cloned the image and rotated it round to make the plane for the vertical one and move the 'UVWMap' around ( the image ) to make it to the correct view. The techniques that I am learning in class today will be very useful when making the objects needed for my animation and my models.
