Maya Image Plane problem not loading

Sugus

Hello fellow Polycounters,

I've recently encountered a problem with Maya 2014 i can't seem to solve, maybe someone out here might be able to.

When I try to add an image plane to a Camera it gives me this error:

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2014/scripts/AETemplates/AEimagePlaneTemplate.mel line 118: Unable to load the image file, 'C:/Users/HectorMateo/Documents/maya/projects/Panther/sourceimages/Panther.jpg', for imagePlaneShape1 //

Thanks!

Have you tried opening the image in another program? Might be the file is corrupted.

I never used them so can't advise you what's going on but I always found much better flexibility with simple poly plane, square texture and a layer. Show, hide move and so on without having to dig.
Maya image plane got to be the shittiest one out there if you ask me.
It looks like Maya made you a favor

I managed to get it working. I think it was what Meloncov mentioned, file corrupted.

As for wanting to use this: I needed the camera image plane for some specific type of modeling, if not I would've tried a different option.

Thanks for the help guys!
