I have 3DS4, and I use it a lot. Sometimes when I make complex images on it, and I go to render them, it shows up in just grey and black, regardless of if I have mapping coordinates on it, or anything. I can put it in red, orange, green, cyan, and whatever other colors on the same image, and still, just grey and black. What can I do to get 3DS to render right? If it makes any difference at all, I have 3DS4 Educational version. Thanks. -Dano (Vicki's son)

Dano, Have you checked your lighting? I sometimes forget that. Also, having the mapping in the off position when you render might cause the sa same problem the object will be black because no surface is applied. Those are the two things that I would check first. Hope it helps. Gordon Fisher
