Renders in Arnold come out grey no textures or details

[jjjo]

I am hoping this is an easy issue and I am a newbie with Maya.  All of my renders are coming out with randomized clothing, but no colour/detail just shaded grey. I assume they are missing their textures?  Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Jjjo,

Is there any error message or sceenshot?

Are you render it in your original scene or external scene with standin?

Cheers,
Yeah

Hi Yeah,

No error message. Using one of the sample scenes to experiment with. In tutorials the render comes out with full details, but I must be missing something.

Thanks for your help!

May I ask have you setup your Project Folder correctly? (in Maya > File > Set Project...)
Only if setup it correct, the textures can be linked onto texture.

Or would you please check out the texture of these geometries.

Cheers,
Yeah

Can you share the link to the tutorial setting up the project path? That is probably the issue...

[Yeah YANG]

it needs to be setup in Maya > File > Set Project...
And point it to the folder on top of sourceimages.

For example you downloaded Miarmy sample to:
D:\abc\Miarmy_Samples
And pleaes point the project to D:\abc\Miarmy_Samples

Cheers,
Yeah

Thanks Yeah, finally got a proper render with your help and some experimenting going back through videos! Very silly on my part, seems like I made agent cache while enable agent cache was checked. Once I did in the proper order, make agent cache and then check enable agent cache, it was fixed.
