I think the pics explain all, This is what i see in maya after applying the Eye texture.. i really don´t know why This is what i get when i render the same view.... Configuration Windows 2k SP4 Radeon 9600 Pro Maya 5.0 AMD 1333 C 2x256 Infineon RAM Asus A7V266 Newest Bios etc.. Newest Drivers (Catalyst 3.9) But it happened before with a Geforce 2, i thought it was a problem with the card but.. well you see When i apply more textures (Blinns(??)) then sometimes i get the same result after rendering!! This is horrific!! What did i do wrong!! Sometimes i get half-geometry-solid and the other half see-through, looks like a chess field Can someone help me with this strange view?
