Maya image plane question?

[twocik23]

Ok I've tried everything of my knowledge and can't figure out what the problem is. I'm trying to import my image and the front view is only working, the rest are showing black, any help would be great. thanks

Well are you sure you textured the other two planes, they clearly look black in the perspective viewport.

I'm sorry I can't help you I'm not a Maya users.

"Well are you sure you textured the other two planes, they clearly look black in the perspective viewport."


Yes they're black in all views, but when importing any different image it works and shows up (weird). It's just these pictures, they must have some sort of lock on them or something?

Just curious, how do they, the black ones, show up in your attributes image plane sample?

[Anhar Miah]

Well, In max, there is a button that basically switchs on the "display in viewport on/off " kinda thing, Dont know if Maya has the same thing, perhaps you have not switched on the "display texture in viewport" on for that plane/texture.


Look carefully at the material settings for both the planes that work and the plane that dont and see if something is different

good luck

Yes it has the same option.

any progress on this issue?

[twocik23]

No, I've come to the conclusion that it's the picture. I've tried other pictures and they work fine, but for some reason these don't (well just the one).

try converting them to a different format maybe? if not find the refs from a different place.

so those black ones are your image planes...
you have got an option in the attributes editor, where you can set the way you see it. there is "none, rgb, rgba, ..." modes. try to choose rgb mode, or try to reset the settings. anyway, it should work normally!
