hi all,

i'm trying to render an animation i'm working on and always get the following message, when executing render diagnostics:

Warning:

polySurfaceShape34 has no shading group associated with it. This means that it will not be rendered. Please assign it to a shading group.

or

polySurfaceShape34 has no shading group associated with it. This means that it will not be rendered. Please assign it to a shading group.

the associated shading networks look like this. what's wrong?

There's something wrong with image, I think - i see only part of it :( Is the shader assigned to the surface or is ther any surface shader 'included' to your shading network?

damn, the image is broken! :(

i.e. polySurfaceShape34 has two different materials applied on it.
the shading network looks like this:

the other surfaces in question have similiar graphs.

as far as i see, there seems to be a shading group for each material, so why does this message occur?
