:lol:

I suspect that when the PC was restarted, the image in the temp directory disappeared. They are supposed to be cleared when Studio shuts down, and recreated when starting Studio again. In cases like this, it is where one needs to check the Collect Textures option. The images in the temp directory are usually created by LIE, etc.

Yeah, I checked that folder and there's nothing in it.  

So is my only option to restart the whole render?

I'm really, REALLY unhappy with DS4.5.  I held off upgrading until just last week and I've had nonstop problems.  It took me forever to get this scene ready to render with clothes and hair that used to fit perfectly not going on at all, objects that I have to locate files when I load them in the scene, and now this. 

And I don't even have any use for the new stuff they added.
