Imported Image is Black

famadorianfamadorian Member Posts: 390 ✭✭✭
For some weird reason, when I import this image, it's black. 

I've also tried to convert it to JPG, but it's still black;)

What's going on? Onshape loads my other images.

    I suspect the Resolution of the image is very high. Try to reduce the number of pixels and upload it again.

    This solved a similar problem I had.

    Even after I convert the file to Gif, it turns black;)

    I need help;)

    I made a copy of your Onshape document, then I made a part studio and put the image on a plane and it's still black

    Go open up that document again. I brought that image into a Part Studio.

    The image is washed out looking. But it’s there.

    OK the below two images are screen captures I made of what I’m seeing.
    Look at the name of the document. This is the copy you made

    I’m using an iPhone 8+ and I’m obviously using the mobile app for the iPhone

    Looks to me like it’s something to do with your graphics card on your computer or your browser

    I loaded this document into my android and there is nothing there, either. 

    Can you try on a computer?

    Per chance, are you using Firefox?

    It is showing for me in your document while using Chrome and a MacBook Pro.

    I would consider shrinking the image resolution down some if you are going to be compressing it so much in a sketch anyways.

    ok, this is too weird. Some images are totally fine, but some are not.

    you can see in the preview that it loads the images;)
  • john_mcclaryjohn_mcclary Member, Developers Posts: 3,890 PRO
    works in chrome and firefox on my windows10 laptop, It is slow to load though, it is blank until it is fully loaded.

    Extra note: It works with both the integrated intel graphics card and nVidia card

    The preview is a png file that is displayed by the browser. The image in the modeling area is a texture that needs to be applied to a quad. This looks like an issue with the GPU/browser.

    1. Can you send us the output of chrome://gpu ?
    2. Can you check if any errors are being reported in the browser console. This can be opened using the following shortcut keys : 

     (Linux/Windows) Control+Shift+J

    Yup, scaled it down and works perfectly;) Thanks

    So, this is a bug, then, but only with me, it seems. 

    Do we have a bug tracker?
