chrismaddox3d

ok here is another issue im having with maya 8.5,
my texture shows up just fine on the fish,but i need to adjust some verts to
line up the textures better in the uv texture editor,
but the image wont show up,it just turns white when i try and turn it on using display image on and off button,
anyone know what the cause might be,
its a .TGA file from photoshop i saved it in,

When was the last time you updated your video card drivers? I've seen this issue some time back, around maya 6.0, but not for a long time. It's clearly a display issue. You might want to delve into the thread on cgtalk about maya display issues.

also try moving the uv editor display to the monitor 1 and see if that changes anything. I seem to remember having issues like this with maya 7 and whatever card(s) I was using then

Make sure it is a power of 2 as well, and have you checked show texture off by mistake or are you in the wrong uv set? Make sure you're in map1 as that is what the texture display will be hooked up to.

Click "Display RGB Channels" icon.
It is in the UV area - a red green and blue ball - under the magnet (pixel snap) icon.

That's what fixed it for me.
