Products appear pitch black/covered in darkness

Hi All,

A couple of times, I've selected products to use in Daz Studio and they appear pitch black/covered in darkness.  I've tried re-booting the computer, re-booting the program, re-loading the product, and shining lights at the products, but they continue to appear completely black.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Is there something I should do to remedy the problem?  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Cheers,

Roel

    Can you give a specific example?

    If you hit render, does it stay black?

    Hi MJC -- thanks for checking in.  In terms of specific examples, I've experienced this most recently with "Toon Rocket and Moonscape" (http://www.daz3d.com/toon-rocket-and-moonscape) and "Parthenon Bank" (http://www.daz3d.com/parthenon-bank).  I don't hit render, because I just import my images into Photoshop through the Photoshop 3d Bridge.

    It could be that they use shaders that only appear when rendered.

    Hi Scorpio,

    Thanks for the insight.  This makes sense. Is there anything I can do from my end to reverse that? Or does it mean I need that I need to render the products?

    Yes...if it's the shaders, which is very likely, then yes you will need to render them.
