Hey eigenface a plane takes its default dimensions from the width and height properties of the plane object, so if you want those to match your bitmapdata, you need to do:
plane.width = plane.bitmap.width; plane.height = plane.bitmap.height; you also need to place the plane the correct distance away from the camera, because with most normal lenses, size scales in proportion to distance. For the standard ZoomFocusLens, the equation for distance that will result in an exact size match is: d = camera.focus*(camera.zoom -1); for the orthogonal lens, the distance doesn't make any difference because size stays constant no matter how far away an object is from the camera. so instead you need to do: camera.zoom = camera.focus; for an example of an effect simialr ot the one you are describing, take a look at the source found here from one of my old presentations: http://www.infiniteturtles.co.uk/blog/presentation-notes-tfo3d-in-flash hth!
