Hi, love the tutorial but i am a little stuck right at the very beginning

only just started playing with Maya so not sure how you first setup the Image Plain and shader etc. any chance you could tell me how to get that starting bit setup? once i have that i think i can follow the rest

to set up the image plane is easy
1get the dimensions of the image (in photoshop hit crtl +alt+I to get the image dimensions)
2. in maya create a plane and scale it to the exact dimensions you saw in photoshop
3. go to the hypershade (window>rendering editors>hypershade)
4. create a lambert
5. hit ctrl+A to bring up the attribute editor
6. on the colour you will see a checker box on the right
7. click on it
8. select file
9. click on the little folder icon you see
10. locate the image
11.close the attribute editor
12. with your hypershade window still open middle mouse drag the shader unto the plane
13. select 6 on the keyboard the you should see the image in the maya windows
