Question regarding Maya

[sellett]

I have a shading question for you 3D animation experts. We are using Maya 8.

As a test, we created a NURB sphere, smooth-shade it, and opened up the Hypershade/Render/Persp window. I select a PHONG node and then link it to my NURB. I then create a ramp, link the ramp to the PHONG – making it color but my NURB remains black and white (or gray). Shouldn’t my NURB be the same color as the PHONG? Am I doing something wrong?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts! I wish everyone a good Thanksgiving!

did you make sure to display hardware texturing? You have to press '6' on the keyboard.

First, I want to thank you for your reply! Second, I'll give that a try first chance I get tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again and take care,

Shawn
