Loading image into viewport overlay?

[joojaa]

Implement a imageplane. Or use existing image planes. (a image plane can be used as a overlay!)

hi joojaa,

sorry, accidently i deleted this post,(" i've got very bad browser ")

actually i want to do region render in maya viewport, and for that i want to load image on selected region

i used custom context but i m not getting how to load image, i dont want to use viewplane.

my second question is. it is possible to create a scripted window at mouse position ?

Creating a scripted window at mouse position? I have never tried to do this. But I wonder whether there are some toolkits which allow users to do so? Back to the image loading point, any SDKs needed? I am just a beginner at imaging processing programs. Thanks in advance. And I hope you success. Good luck.

Best regards,
Arron

you can try this external image tool control. it will help you successfully load image from file or from web site, or any other sources you like.
