Help!

I am just testing a model before I put it in a scene with global illumination. It is a fully rigged character with materials all apllied to each piece of mesh. The light is set to emit photons the mesh is set to transfer and receive photons. But when I try to turn on GI I get a warning telling me that one or more objects involved in photon computation does not have a photon shader connected. Nice warning but what doesn't have a photon shader connected to it? Please help. Thanx

You must make sure that all objects that have a Transmitter or Receiver GI property must have something connected into their Photon input. You can check that by opening the Render Tree, and checking each object. If a Material has nothing connected into its Photon input but is set to transmit or receive photons, you'll get this error.

Hope this helps
