Hi,
Brand new apprentice here with a problem with the orthographicp lane and background images.
when i apply a background image using the D menu the image appears over the geometry no matter how i move it, i have tried with auto place image on and off, also the constructon plane appears over the geometry as well so that i can see the grid over the objects, this is really off putting is there anyway to stop this?
Thanks

I have the same problem. Looks like this is a videocard problem. Which one do you use? I`m on radeon *fingerdown*

Yeah … maya has a fit with ATI cards as well it looks like. im using a HD Radeon 6870 myself … hopefully there is a fix for this because i urgently need to learn this for a major

Alfieb, thanks, but it doesn`t help much. Would I buy amd cards again? NEVER.

has no one from houdini got an answer to this? it would appear that this industry in terms of its programs favours nvidia over ati, i have nothing against ati and love them so far but it would appear that i will need new nvidia cards … expensive way to fix this … especially if its wrong
seriously this could be a game breaker for me, i really need an answer, if this forum cant provide it could someone point me in the right direction please

Try using the Catalyst 12.1 or earlier driver. The problem has only shown up in more recent drivers.

ok ill give it a try, is there any word on a fix for this besides rolling back the drivers?

Hello Alfie,
which driver did you go with and what operating system? what version of Houdini? I have the 6870OC and am having some graphics issues with Houdini in Mountain Lion.

I had too many problems in Maya, Houdini,Linux with ATI too !
I think it's just good for game not 3D !
I like nvidia VGA and suggest to you buy GTX series
