High Quality display makes my model disappear!

SaferDan

Regardless of what material i have on if i click the high quality display button all my models disappear but i can still click on them and the selected wireframe shows up but thats it?

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Any help would be amazing as trying to preview normal maps is impossible!

What graphics card do you have?

Do you still see your model in other views then perspective?
If yes try to change your Camera settings(Changing the far clipping value should do the trick)

i have a GeForce 8800GT but high quality has worked before now on other models, im thinking ive pused a button i shouldnt have?

SpeCter

I think your near and far clip plane values are too far apart. try putting those values closer to each other and say if that works

Axios

What material is on the models?

SaferDan

SpeCter that worked thank you very much!

But why does that happen if they are too far apart?

My far clip plane was 1000000 i have no idea how that happened!

SpeCter

To be honest.. I have no idea why exactly that happens. I just knew that it was causing your problems

SaferDan

Oh Maya you crazy program!

but yeah thanks a lot man
