Setting Up BluePrints

[DavidS7]

Hey guys, I'm currently doing the Nissan 350Z tutorial (http://www.3dm3.com/tutorials/maya/350z/) and I've been trying to set up the blueprints but I can't.
I think I've cut the BluePrints correctly in Photoshop.
My current dimensions are as follows:
- Top: 783 x 358
- Side: 783 x 241
- Front: 359 x 241
- Rear: 357 x 243
Maybe I need to do adjustments of the images in PS or in Maya.
And to be honest, I don't even know how to move the images. I know how to move the objects but no idea with these images.
Here's an image of how it currently looks:


As I said, maybe I also need to change the images' dimensions of any of them to fit properly.

Please help me out to start working on this!
Thanks!

sometimes you have to move prints around in the 3d app to make everything line up. cropping doesn't guarantee that it lines up.

But I imagine that the width of one image and the other must be the same, mathematically speaking, right?
Like, the Top's width and the Side's Width must be the same.
What other parts are aligned with what?
Knowing this I'll be able to set it up properly and then move prints as you said.

not exactly. if they're marginally different it isn't a problem. you cannot always get the same size by cropping in photoshop. it isn't an exact science.

Dude I added you to MSN because I really think I need your help.
Because to be honest after importing the images I don't even know how to move the images.
Other objects I do but the images I don't .

did u aply your image sizes to the planes ?

u can move the images (textures) on the planes by using the uv editor.

but would move rather the planes than the uvs (images)

no idea where your planes caos style sizeing is from ^^ .

did u check some: how to setup blueprints. tutorials ?

I think your questions will end here.
And if you find your plane facing the wrong way like how your top view plane is facing, just transform rotate it in Photoshop.
