Anyone know what sizes i should make the 3-views? i got one and 'cut' it out (top, front, etc.) for my possible silverbird project. Anyone know how i should figure out what size to make it or an exact number?
BTW im using Gmax

http://www.freeflightdesign.com/tutorials/Gmaxbackgroundtutorial.zipThere are other good tutorials in the gmax modelling section
http://www.freeflightdesign.com/tutorialsBasically you want to make sure that your backdrops are scaled to each other ... but the recommended manner is to apply the backdrops as materials to a properly sized "plane" so you don't get the background images jumping about.
As a rule of thumb, in FSDS I try to keep my cropped backdrops to about 10 pixels a foot so that a 57 foot wingspan comes out to 570 pixels wide graphic.
