Noob question about cameras in Maya

vofff · May 2010

Hey I have a problem with my top,front,side view since I changed the pref settings Linear I always have this problem now everytime I start Maya, I cannot see objects in those 3 views. Even though I changed the camera settings near clip 0.100, far clip 1000. I dont wanna change all my pref to default, if it would be my last chance. Help would be appreciated, Thx!

Try changing it to .001 and 10000 for each view then save pref.
edit: save preferences is under file

Also select the plane and frame selection ( f ) as well, sometimes thats all it takes when maya starts getting buggy for me.

Hello! Thx for the advice, I followed your instructions it seems only one view worked but the grid is missing somehow. The front and side view is still the same. Any more suggestions?

Try setting the Near Clip Plane to a larger value, like 0.1 instead of 0.001.

Also, check the camera position in 3D space.

Hello guys thx for all your advices, I manage to fix the problem the reason was I set the value far clip plane on all the camera settings to 50 000 and it worked!
