[QUOTE]Originally posted by John8888 it seems it is just taking on the color of the blinn. QUOTE] Yes, that's correct. That's all i said it would do. You cannot get the color of your MR nodes to display in Maya without some MEL scripting. I told you the blinn was just for display purposes and would have ne effect on your renders. As for your render, it looks to me like you might have 2 spheres overlapping eachother. Other than that I'm not sure what else to say. I would recommend you buy some MR tutorial DVDs if you're having this much trouble. It'll be worth it.
