Textures turn black! Help!

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 21:39:20 GMT

Hello Community,

I have a bit of a problem which I have been trying to solve for the past 2 days and come up with nothing. Even after hours of research. Maybe any of you will be able to help. So the problem I'm having is that whenever I apply textures to the model they suddenly turn black, like if they had some sort of a black foliage on top of them. I am trying to make a textured model for Fallout 4, using the textures provided.

Here are a few screenshots:

Inside Material Editor (The texture looks fine in the small preview window on the BSLightningFX node)

The model after applying textures (This is not my model, this happens withe very single model and texture I use)

The textures appear the same way everywhere, in-game and in Bethesda's Creation Kit. Also, I am using 3ds Max 2013 for this.

Lastly, I am a complete newbie at all this since I only started learning maybe 1-2 weeks ago so explain as much as possible to me 😛

Would anybody know how to fix this?

Thanks for any response in advance!
