I am rendering (or trying to) simple forms in studio. When I use some materials that I loaded from the mawell materials web page I get an error and no render. When I go to render it does the maxwell render window (without messages of cant find map image or anything) then it shows an error in the console window part as uvw channels (0) on object 'rhinoceros binary stl (jan 18 2007). then it says render fail , which it does as nothing is rendered.

can anyone tell me whats going on?

thanks,

You may be using a material that uses maps in both channel 0 and 1 in which case your object needs two UVmaps. Check the textures used in the material from the texture picker and see which channel ID they are using.

Search also the manual for channel ID for more info.
