I know I'm probably missing something simple, but my frustration level is rising fast and I thought this forum might provide some relief.  I created a simple prop in C4d and exported it as a .obj.  I then created the tex maps and saved them as .jpeg files.  I imported the obj into Poser 6 and then loaded the jpegs in the material room.  Everything looks good, but when I render the prop, it comes out completely black.  What am I missing?  

Thanks in advance for any help.

Lights perhaps?

I adjusted the lights.  I added a figure from the library and the textures look good on it, but the prop still looks black.

Thanx anyway.

It sounds like your normals are reversed. Check to see your normals are forward.
Go to the material room, click on your object, and at the bottom of the PoserSurface
box put a checkmark in the Normals_Forward box.

Fazzel,
You were right.  I fixed the normals and the problem was solved.  
My frustration level is back to normal.
Thank you for the help.  It is greatly appreciated.

You should use RipTide when dealing with OBJ files and C4D.
