Images in Maya
I am currently having problems with importing images into the maya to work from.
the problem is that the images are shown as blacked out in most of the views but appear correctly when rendering.
this makes it hard for me to design in side views etc.
I am currently trying to make the red rocket in the understanding maya book and am unable to do this.
The images are straight out of the scene folders on the dvd so i know they are in the correct format and maya has been put back into default settings so i dont think anything is turned off?
Any ideas?
thanks
Stuart :headbang:

I did try another tutorial where i pasted an image to a poly plane and it works until i manipulate the plane and it will go to black again?
Everything else i do in maya seems spot on at the moment.
I'll have a look, thanks.

If they are tiff then try converting to jpg as there are some compression issues with tiff at times in Maya.
This could also be a graphics driver issue.
