rotating a background image

I know you can move a background image up and down but can the background image be rotated?

The answer is no. Why would you need it to?

Thank you very much for your kind response. :-)

Actually, if the image needs to be rotated, you could open it in an editor like Irfanview and rotate it and re save it. Then you can load it back into AC3D.

Foxa, thank you so very much--that is a good suggestion. sometimes the reference photos that clients give me to work with are often a bit skewed and so it makes perfect sense to have the ability to rotate. I can see if one is just working on simple things that it might not be an issue. I will stick it in photoshop or artrage, play with it there and then reload it into the program.

Im trying to use ac3d as much as possible as i really like the intereface.

Glad to help, I have all the Adobe products too, but Irfanview is so quick and small I still use it for resizing, rotation etc. Same thing with AC3D, I have several 3D packages available, but I always run home to mama
