Blueprint Problem

My front and rear views are fine in the viewports, but the top and side are stretched. Can't find what the problem is. I've tried making setting up the blueprints a couple times over, Reset X-Form and making materials for it, instead of dragging the image from Asset Browser.

Did you try to assign uvw wrap modifier to it?

To solve this problem i always make the planes the same dimensions as my blueprints. So if its a 800x600 blueprint make a plane 800 by 600. Fast easy way to not have stretched out images like that.

I hope that helps.

actually the problem was solved, but the solution wasn't ever really posted on the forums clearly.

The problem was that the texture sizes on the blueprint planes were so large that the graphics card couldn't properly display the images. Everything was fine when it came to rendering, because the image itself, and the mapping coordinates were correct... however for display, it got messed up.

The solution was to make the blueprint image dimensions either exactly 4096 or smaller in any direction. So I believe they started out with like, 4600x2400 something prints... I had him scale the prints so that no dimension was over 2048. Displayed just fine once that was done

Thanks mmm for clarification, I thought it would be sufficient to explain that the image size exceeded the GPU memory.
