I'm not sure why this is happeneing in this scene, as i had no problem in my other scenes, but i can't seem to apply a dirtmap onto an imported poly object from my cadd app. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that i convert from Archicad object to 3Ds, then import to maya, but any other object i import as 3Ds that was not converted from cad works fine....ie downloaded objects from the web. Anyone have a clue?:shrug:

i had a similar issue with .obj's...turns out that the imported objects "visible in reflections" and "raytrace reflections" were turned off for the object. These must be ON for Dirtmap to work. :hmm:

Yeah it happens every time you import .OBJ files. This will not let shaders using raytracing to work right.
