hehe i jsut learned how to do this today

in the viewport you want to setup an image plane jsut click

view/camera attribute editor

and goto Environment and click Create for image plane

then under image plane attributes select the image you want to be displayed

The only thing I would, Kymera, is that you should make sure that you have told Maya to "SHOW" the cameras in the viewports that you want to see the image planes in. Otherwise, you can have a image plane that will not be visible while in the viewports.

:thumbsup:
