Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Object appears black in Arnold Render View

I'm fairly new to Maya and am trying to develop a basic character and wanted to test out what it looked like with lighting, but when I opened the Render View the base mesh was black, but the hair, teeth, and eyes are rendered properly. When I toggle "use all lights" in the viewport, it shows the skin/base mesh when I turn the exposure up, but the hair/eyes/teeth are overexposed. I've attached a screenshot

change the shader on the base mesh to an Arnold material this should at least show the base mesh as grey
