Maya 2018 Stingwray PBS with Arnold Render

[Anonymous]

If I place a stingwray pbs material onto my object and render in Arnold then the object just shows black. After a short-while Maya crashes.

Can I use a stingwray material in Arnold?

I appreciate it should not crash but it does crash each and every time I try this

Thank you for looking

No, you can't use a Stingray PBS shader with Arnold. There's no Arnold version of it, and the Stingray PBS node is dropped when the scene is translated to Arnold by MtoA.

I haven't been able to repro the crash.

Thank you for the reply - happens every time here and I submitted the crash report.

If I have a base colour, normal, metallic, roughness etc. what shader should I use so I can see it in Arnold?

thank you again (kudos given)

Hi!

Use an Arnold Shader like aiStandardSurface.
