Maya problem @Alan

Hi Alan, hope you had a good Christmas?

I'm stuck on one of the camera rig tutorials and was wondering if you can help?

Here's a screenshot of my problem, I've created a nurbs plane and assigned a lambert material to it and loaded the HD_1080_Thirds.tif file into the colour channel with the alpha baked in. For some reason the hardware texturing isn't showing it as a grid? I checked the "alpha is luminance" box in the file node but that had no affect.

I did get an error message when creating the lambert stating : // Error:Object 'lambert_qualityMenu' not found. Is that the problem?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Paul

Hi Alan,

starting to panic a little now as texturing is a huge part of unit 3 and I really don't want this to affect my environment. I made a transparency map as suggested and loaded it into the transparency channel but it still has no affect... here's another screen shot....

I've made a solid red 1080 image without an alpha channel, loaded that into the colour channel with a transparency map, still nothing. The only thing I haven't tried is using jpeg images instead of tiffs.

Please HELP!

Thanks

Paul
