Material rendering black

Post by JakeMM » Tue Nov 06, 2018 2:51 pm

I'm trying to setup a render in which some of the textures are a PDF.

The textures show up correctly in SketchUp AND are on the white face (not the reverse blue face).

But they keep rendering as black.

Twilight material editor also shows them as black.

Sure it's something basic, but can't work out what it is? Is it because the textures are PDF's?

I would have to try it to know for sure, however I suspect the answer is yes, it's because the images are PDF. Certainly the KT render engine does not support PDF textures. If you are able to convert them to PNG that would solve the issue.

Swapped the images over to JPEG and all sorted! Cheers Chris
