 OK, I'm new and i got issues alreadyhttp://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/images/smilies/frown.gif

:(


I've got TS7.5.1 and was following the Render Emotion Tutorial. I'm stuck at the beginning of Chapter 3. It looks like a simple step to insert a background from the background image effect icon. I chose the .bmp listed to use. I'm in the model mode but can not get the background to display as per the instructions. It does display when I render so I know it's there. It will be used to display an out door scene through a window in a wall. Any ideas as to what I am missing?


Thanks up front..

right click the 'display' button (the one that shows wire frame or shaded etc.) and in the box that comes up click the button that look like mountains and scenery, i think that shows your background in the window.

Don't worry about having problems early on, when i started out in TS i used to model everything with booleans and the deform tools, didn't know the pointed edit mode existed (that was a long time ago though)
