I am very new to Houdini

I want to set up this ‘sky’ background on my scene

and I was wondering if there's something like.. ‘image plane’ which is under Camera menu on Maya, on Houdini
that way, the lights won't affect on the image.



I tried grid + material + uv project

but without no light, i can't get the image rendered..

is there any parameter that i can play with? to get the image self illuminating?

Thank you !

In the Display Options (hotkey ‘d’ in the viewport) there is a Background tab where you can enter a background image for the viewport. Is that what you're looking for?
