In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

well make sure you've got some lights in your scene, and make sure they're not inside something. a point light is good for a quick and dirty render. just raise it above everything else.

also, what kinds of textures do you have on your objects? the black rock in particular...

Accept no substitutions.

I agree with Neo. Its a lighting issue. Ensure your lights are above geometry and that they are not in a layer that is V (visable) is off or is set to T (Template) or R (Reference).

This will cause the lights not to render correctly.
