Maya 2009 High Quality Rendering Problem

marq4porsche

Hi guys, I'm doing a test and for some reason the objects in the scene do not show up in high quality rendering mode. I'm trying to view the normal maps quickly but all I can see is wireframes.Everything shows up fine in default quality and the scene renders fine as well. If you know whats up, I would love to hear it, thank you.

What texture format are you using, could it be .TGA ? And you've saved as 32-bit ? Maya will read this as having an alpha and display it as so, could be what's causing your problem ?

Regards.

I only have one item that is fully textured. Nothing in the scene is showing up in anything other than a wireframe. I have it so that lighting and textures should be showing but I get nada.

I havent used Maya in a long time but It could be the camera issue?

I don't think so because I've already tried with different cameras.

I know this might sound silly but did you turn on texture mode? Push 6 on the keyboard.

Otherwise, in your cameras view, go under the shading tab. and open interactive shading options. Change the shading mode to "high quality".:thumbup:

oh and another thing. Check you hypershade node connections to make sure you dont have any transparency connections connected. Such as: from your texture node to your shader.

I've checked all three and still it's a no go. All I see is the wireframe model.
