MentalRay Textures Baking Turn Black Renders Black etc
To all who are frustrated with their textures turing black when you use MentalRay in Maya, I may have a solution for you:
first for the noobs--make sure your normals are pointing in the right direction
for those who continue to have problems, select the object(s) that you are having difficult with one at a time, check if your object has 2 Shape nodes. If it does, find the one where Intermediate Object is selected and deselect it and select Intermediate Object for the other Shape node. Re apply your textures and presto! they work now!
Let me know if this helps anyone.
