Maya7 Camera Projection- please help

[h2o]

Did u make sure both projection nodes have the same setting?

In my way, when I use camera projection, I'll connect to Color not Incandescence.

Thank you very much,
you are right, it works! But I don't wont to have any ligts in my rendering,
I want to paint my light in Photoshop.
But if I'll connect to Color, than I get shadows from maya I don't want to have.
Is there a way to switch the ligt off? In Incandescence the Image appears as it is in Photoshop.

There’s a few ways to make sure you have to no lights in your scene:

1. Go to your render settings, under the common tab near the bottom uncheck "Enable Default Light". Maya automatically creates a directional light by default if you have no lights in your scene; however you have to turn it off if you don’t want it to.

2. The second and just as easy way is to create any kind of light and turn it's intensity to "0". This way Maya sees that you have a light placed in your scene and doesn’t need to have the default light but since the intensity is "0", the light will not show up at all.



Hope this helps.

Thank you for help,
Yes, I have no light than but my environment is Black now.
But what I want to achieve is: I want to see my color information of my mattepainting
as I have painted it in Photoshop. No lights or shadow from maya, just the picture
as it appears in photoshop. And by switching the lights off, everything is black.

Set the Ambient Color to white, Diffuse to 0

first let me say thank you for the attention and response.
It works well. But I have one last thing:
Now I get white Edges, something like a halo from the alphachannel + some semi-transparent areas although my Alpha is pure Black&White
