Alright guys, i'm fairly certain that this can't be done, but if someone could show me how i would be very grateful.
I have a character and he has been UV mapped into 3 sperate groups. Face, torso/legs and arms. Now I can select the faces of each group and assign a separate maya shader to it, say Lambert1 for the face, Blinn2 for the arms etc, but when i try and do the same with miSSS materials it doesn't render out and just gives me black. i suspect it has to do with the lightmaps, but is there any way around this?

thanks in anticiaption.

Cleveland.

This has been addressed several times; it has to do with the light linking. Set it to 2, both in the surface shader and the lightmap shader, or break the light links to the SGs in the light linker, and bind strictly to the transform nodes. Be aware that you might need a different light linking mode if you render with 'Default Lights'.
