Down and install the latest version of Arnold for Maya.

Arnold Download

If that doesn't work then reset your Maya prefs.

Reset Maya to Default

Let me know if that works for you.

I'm having the same problem and reinstalling Arnold and resetting the prefs have not helped.

As of MtoA 2.0, aiStandard is deprecated, and you won't see it in the user interface. 

Use standard surface instead.

Hi!

Please read the online user guide for changes, new feature or any other type of information.

You should see new "Transmission".

Hey Stephen,

while it is true that it's deprecated, the aiStandardSurface doesn't provide a refraction  tab. As someone who's working with the Arnold shader for the first time now, do you have an idea what to use instead?
I wasn't able to find any more relevant post in the forum.

All the best,
Bastian

EDIT: Solved. I overlooked the other reply with the hint towards the transmission tab. Sorry!

I am still trying to figure how refraction works with aiStandardSurface

Go to

       Windows > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager

Click Load & Auto Load for these options
mtoa.ll
Substance.mll

substancelink.mll
substancemaya.mll
substanceworkflow.py

Now close

when you right click and Assign New Material to your asset you will find the Arnold options
Apply aiStandardSurface

Base Window in outliner: 

colour - apply base material

Specular Window in outliner: 

Metallness - apply metallic map
roughness - apply roughness map

Geomtry Window in Outliner: 
Use As: Change to Tangent Space Normals

Go to the file option - Normal map

height map needs to be done with nodes, good luck! 🙂

It's 2023 and still not solved? Maya seems to be falling apart
