Hi there,
I faced with the same problem as well. Try doing this, it helped me to solve the issue...
Let's say you created an image plane for the Side Camera. The thing slows down like hell ! I know 
But after setting the image plane, re-create a new orthographic view from the options. The thing solves the issue and it's smooth again like before...
E-mail me or send a message to me if it doesn't work. I'm sure we can figure it out somehow...
All the best...

Any idea on why my Creative TNT2 32MB with latest Detonator drivers forms an issue with Windows XP ?
If you can think of anything please let me know...
All the best...
thx again....
problem?what problem do u have with WinXp?your TNT doent work?tell me.... to help u:)
Hi again
The problem is with Windows XP i guess... I've downloaded the latest Detonator drivers from nVidia for my Creative TNT2 32 MB graphics adapter. When i use this driver as the system display driver, Windows restarts itself without prompting anything... When i restore the old driver (The one comes with XP) it runs but terribly slow... I can't use hardware texturing.
What can be the problem ?
Thanks for everything...
Ozan
You know what...
I've done it It was because of some stupid OpenGL stuff...
Works fine...
I know it's totally off the topic but where can i find some fine tutorials on creating Nurbs Head's ? Patch modelling ?
If you have any models involved with that, can you share them with me ?
Thanks...
ok u didnt need me to solve your problem:)
i have some tutorials for nurbs modelling.....and patch modelling!
if u want to send u via email...just tell me:))))))))

Your answer to the "Image Planes Suck!" posting on 10/28/01 was right on
the money. I had been wrestling with the exact same image plane problem
for many hours. I was ready to upgrade from NT to 2000 and/or buy a new
video card. You really helped me so much.
FYI, I had this problem on one PC running with GeForce 256 running NT
and no image plane problem on an almost identical system with a GeForce
2MX card running 2000.
BTW, I read that Maya 4 on NT does not support any background images
except avi. When I put non-avi images in the image plane (tif, tga,
jpeg) I get an error message but it seems to work the same as an avi.
When I put a single frame avi in the background I also get an error
message about a wrong frame count (or something similar). Any
suggestions?
Thanks for your help. I am very grateful.
I have an Elsal Gladiac Ultra (GeForce) on W2K
I am running the Detonator driver on it.
I have no probles with imageplanes.
I have an Elsa Gloria 2 with NT at work.
It runs the Elsa Driver
I hae MANY problems with imageplanes and it sucks in ortho as well.
I recommend going 2K and use the detonator drivers.
Hello all.
The answer to this isue, and many others, are in the Living Maya FAQ located in the Maya General Forum.
If you are new to Maya or have an issue that is easy to recreate and hard to get around, chances are others have had it is well, and chances are the question has been answered. Check the Living Maya FAQ or do a search in the forums, under something like "image plane slow" with the AND search option on.
Have fun!
Hi there !
I'm really happy to learn that it worked for you as well... For the background image thing... I am currently on vacation. It'll be ending in2 days. When I get back to my office i'll check it out for you.
On the other hand, i can make you another suggestion. If You're using image planes it's very probable that you get wierd result. So, instead of using image planes, just create NURBS or Poly planes and assign your avi or tiff or jpeg or any kind of material on it. You can assign this plane to a new layer and block it from translation, rotation or scale.
When i deal with things that require references to images, i do it this way rather than image planes. Also i found out that render is a little bit faster.
Last thing i'll mention is about the video cards. I recently bought Leadtek GeForce2 MX400 SH PRO 64MB. It has some redraw bugs. Menu items are freezing in OpenGL shaded mode. So, if you're planning to buy a new graphics adapter don't choose this one. Go for a better one...
Thanks for your interest. I'll be trying to help as far as i can
