Hi tpgreenwood,

perhaps due an unknown reason the "render" channel is disabled and you are rendering only the "alpha" channel or other one? Could you check your render options?

Kind regards,

Juan

Probably because it can't find an image for mapping or you don't have enough projectors... when it opens mxcl/starts the render check the tab 'Console' (i think).

Hi TP

I get this all the time because when transferring the mxs files from my laptop I forget to transfer all the jpg maps with it.
Better file management on my part would help, as would a simple message; "image missing! .......jpg".

Hi tpgreenwood,

>> Error: UVW channels ( 1 ) on object "test1-1 Extrude1" not enough for material "concrete1.0"

It happens when you are trying to apply a material with a texture over an object that does not have texture coordinates. You can solve that creating a UV set in Studio or applying a SolidWorks texture in SolidWorks, both ways generate UVs data in the object.

But if I try to render it in MW or Render Viewport it turns invisible.

martgreg, could you check if the flags "hidden from camera", "hidden from GI" or "Hidden from Reflections/Refractions" are checked for this object? You can check it in Studio, in the display section of the object parameters panel.

Regards,

Juan

Hi martgreg,

It seems an issue with the normal vectors, could you post the settings of the material used?
