I have a scene where I have plane with 2D layout picture as reference for modeling. For some reason now my 3dsmax started to corrupt the file that there is no way to get texture visible back again. I have gone through all the basic classic “OMG my texture is not visible” steps. And this is for example happening between 2 different versions of saved file.

This problem started when I changed the texture size on viewport to be “As close as possible” in the driver configuration. But I have not been able to revert the problem.

Hello guys, I would really opriciate if you could help me with this strange issue. I saw it being posted in 2010 in this forum, but nobody seams to be able to find what causes the issue.

The problem is that, in 3ds 2012, I create a plane and apply standard material with diffuse map on a jpg image. I check everything as usuall to make sure that the image is visible in the viewport, and when I apply my material to the plane, the plane changes colour, but the jpg is not visible. The applied image is only visible when I render the scene. I selected the plane and exported it and imported it in a new 3ds file and it works fine! I have this file here, and I know that some guys here are very experienced with this program.

I really want to find out what causes this issue, as it might happen in future, and may cause a lot of problems for me, if working on large files.

I would like to find out if anyone of you have come accross this issue, and if you have manadged to find the reason for this?

For those who are interested to help, please give me your emial, so that I can send you the file, and you can have a look. I would prefer to post the file here, but I can’t find any options to do that.

In advance, thank you for your help.
