Newbie : hardware texturng problem
First of all, sorry, I post this here as I don't know where else to post....
I have a problem :
SUper simple model - a pack of milk. rendering is ok with all kind of shading and lighting. But when I smooth the model, it doesn't "work" with hardware texturing - goes pitch black, renders with maya software, not with hardware, same goes for the persp view; renders fine with "use default lighting" but not with "use all lights" while all other models are just fine....?
subsequent question : which rendering options are best for a picture / movie?
Thanks!

If you upload your scene file I'm sure someone will be good enough to let you know what has gone wrong.

Yes, I have a couple of directional lights, and one ambiant light.
In the picture is the initial model, just fine, and smoothed one, black.
Now, If I do something as simple as cutting one single face with split polygon tool, the model goes black in ytthe viewports, and renders black as well, or rather texture-less.
This is not a texture issue, as the texture works fine on other models, and the model reacts the same with dfferent textures.
Now why render with Hardware Maya? Not sure - in the end I am aiming at a movie, so a series of IFF images that I would like to be of good quality...
Any advices?
It is all a lie, and the rest is vanity
