very sudden texture vanish

edited January 2014 in Daz Studio Discussion

I was using daz studio. Spent a good couple hours working on it. Test rendered a couple times. Then I added skies of economy lights and sky dome. And most of my textures vanished when I render it. They're all there in the workspace camera views and in the surfacetabs. Just not in the render. I've tried undoing recent steps and removing the skies of economy. But I can't fix the problem. I have no idea how to fix it or evenwhy it happened. Any help would be great.

Edit. Those first test renders were fine. It was just the test renders after the SoE

    When you say the texture disappear do you mean you end up with everything in grey-scales? Is there any evidence of bump, displacment or transparency maps being used, i.e., is it just the diffuse colours that have gone? If you save the scene, stop and restart Daz Studio does the problem continue? Does the render process show any errors? What level of render quality are you using (the 1, 2, 3 or 4 settings that go from H/W to full software rendr engine)?

    Every map has gone from the renders.
    The eyes are pure white, eyelashes pure black and skin and clothes are light grey.
    There are no Alpha maps present either.

    I've saved and restarted it, it seems to work. Well the textures are back, the only thing without a diffuse map now is the SoE skydome.

    How very strange! I hate to say, but is it at all repeatable or was it a one-off 'glitch'? Depending on your options in DS you may not see the skydome as anything other than black in the viewport (but it will render fine).

    I fixed the skydome too xD in surfaces it was set to diffuse black instead of diffuse white.
    I think it was a one off glitch. Everything seems to be fine now. I guess i panicked for nothing.

    I hate it when things suddenly happen for no reason! Glad you got it sorted out though.
