hi everyone please help if you know something .

I import image plane(very simple imageplane) but the problem is that the grid is behind the imageplane. so i can not see the grid.


I tried the changing of xyz center no changing at all.

tried attached to camera off. no changing


I try everything that i could but no sulution, plz help if you know something. say something.

i dont understand what you want? do you want to disable the grid or move the image planes

posting a picture always helps

Not really sure what you are asking - as others have said, post a picture of your problem so we can see.

However, this might help. Select your image plane in the perspective window and then in the channel box you should be able to adjust it's coordinates to your liking.

Hello 3danimationmaya - just got your email. Yeah, I guess you are right - you can't see the grid through the image plane. sorry about that. I think the best thing to do would be to create a polygon plane, attach a lambert shader and then apply your image to the plane. That will allow you to see your image and the grid at the same time. Hope this helps!

hmmm... now I am confused - I can see the grid with the image planes in the perspective window, but not in the orphographic views - so now I am wondering: 3danimationmaya can you see the grid in perspective view and pixelsoul, can you see the grid in your orphographic views? Just curious...

A general tip for older radeon cards and maya is to disable triple buffering in the ati control panel thingy (sits in your system tray if its installed).
Off the top of my head I think its in the open gl option though it *may* be the direct3d one.

Whether this helps or not is a different issue. Are you having problems when using x-ray view on the plane?
