What could be a proper format to use - size and the likes? I've tried with different sizes and some stretches in weird ways.

I'm gonna necro this rather than start a new thread to ask the same question...

Could someone poke me in the right direction of what the requirements are for a viewport backdrop image? I've tried many jpg's and they all get severely distorted when loaded into Constructor.

Hrm, nevermind... Would appear the viewport backdrop has the same dimension requirements as textures (ie, power of two).

For anyone that cares: a picture that is 512 x 512 = a 2 x 2 meter area in Constructor. Therefore, 1 meter in Constructor is = to 256 pixels.
