Maya 2018 - Arnold material becomes pink when adding a texture file, why?


#1

HEloo, Merry Christmas!

Im having a trouble with Maya 2018 and Arnold, i created a figure at Zbrush then exported my figure to Maya, i use an Arnold aistandard material, but when i click to add a file as color, inmediactly my material becomes pink, even my preview material looks pink… so when i add the file, the hole texture becomes pink either, why Arnold 5 material becomes pink just by click to add a file as color?

Please help

This simple cube without any texture shows how the color changes to pink just by selectin the option “file” as aistandard color, after i finally add the texture file, whatever texture i apply becomes pink or red on the viewport and final Arnold renders…why Arnold wants to feminice my textures?

you are using the aiStandardSurface.?
you are shure you dont use an old shader or an alshader.?

Yes, its AiStandardSurface, but i already solved this problem so i share my solution:

The problem is that my settings/preference for color management was:

Add image input color space: Scene linear CIE XYZ, this option bassicaly changed the color management of every new file, so i changed it to Scene-Linear Rec 709/sRGB, and now this problem is solved.

Thanks
