mentay ray render
 

Hi, i tried to render a object with texture applied to it using mental ray but the object came out looking darkish broken. I tried different image format, the result is same. Unless i render with maya software, it will always look darkish.

:(Anyone knows what's the problem?

any lights in the scene?

post the maya render and the mental ray render. it helps understanding the problem

oh i see now. All of the objects have amb_occlusion that make me believe that there is light so any texture apply to the object seem darkish because there is no actual light source :D

thanks
