Could you give more info please? What happens, what system are you using, is it older scenes you are opening, or how do you load them in Studio. Could you send me one of these objects and material that's not working?

[Ernesto]

In Maya if you send to render old files, the materials will not be there, but if you open each material and edit, resave, they will work.
It only happens with maxwell materials.
In case you use Studio you will have all RED materials until you do the same.

Regarding materials there is another problem:
Maya pluggin tries to render a preview for each material again, although the preview was done at the time the material was created, the same happens in the studio.
It is a WASTE of memory and processor to do all the previews, 3 times
1 in maya 1 in the material editor and 1 in the studio!!!!
If you could include the preview inside the material definition it would have more sense!

Could you please PM me a simple scene made from the Maya plugin with these older materials? And one or two of these older materials.

What happens if you just import one of these materials in the material editor in Studio?

[Ernesto]

Unfortunately I fixed all the scenes I am working with.
What happens is that the materials looks red, but as soon as you open them and redefine, they will work again
I hope this answer yopur question
