Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

SSS - Rendered Mesh Turned Black
I have my alien nano head mesh, which after many tweakings and test renders, I finished it.
All good and happy about it. I used misss_fast_skin_maya.
I then moved the folders around and when I opened the file, of course I had to reset all the textures paths.
No problem until I press Render...
The mesh rendered is in black...
This is actually the third time happening after moving folders around.
I think I'm missing something important here just not sure what and why even after resetting all the textures paths to the right folders, Maya / MR doesn't render the materials? Shouldn't just be as easy as resetting the textures path, press render and done with it?
Any help is much appreciated.

I tried that and still is not working. But thanks Jay for the help, appreciated mate.hehe just re set the texture paths and reload the texture itself, as sometimes just resetting doesnt always work...you have to go and get it

I guess I will have to restart all over again with the sss settings.

Yeah, got to start all over.Apply a new SSS material, in case it has corrupted.

Hello. Thanks. The head was modeled in maya, sculpted and painted in zbrush. The body modeled and tweaked in Silo and painted in mudbox. I'm also using the shadermap v.2 for the normal and other maps.Looking good. Did you do all the alien in Maya or did you import from ZBrush or another external program. Can't wait to see your finished project.
