Are the ambience and diffuse setting in the mat room the same for the items that are black?

they are since these are the settings wich pumeco suplied. there are NO black items. its all grey. that's why i don't get it. these are all the default p.r. mat

and these objects are set to be visible in the render? (there might be a 'make me invisible' kinda setting in the object.. i dont have bryce to check if its there thou...)

@dyret

The effect you're getting is caused by reversed normals in the model.  Basically the normals on those black objects are facing inwards so you're rendering the back faces instead.  I can't imagine that the model would be made like this, so I'm guessing it's probably caused by bringing it in through the DAZ|Studio bridge.

Try importing the model directly into Bryce.  If that still doesn't work then there are reversed normals in the model and you will need to 'flip' them in a modeler and resave the model.

@Rayraz

What, no Bryce?
Hopefully you'll escape TheBryster without too many scars for that one!
