Does it render all black, too?

Yep, and while investigating further, I found a older MAT pose I'd made that didn't turn black in the preview, but still rendered as black...

Check the Material Room for node connections that are dashed lines. They indicate node incompatibility connections; either the nodes in question need to be rerouted, replaced, or deleted.

No dashed connections in the Material Room

However, I just found that I'd bought Mytilus' "Wet Skin" package; it works, and even though it uses its own texture maps for the underlying skin texture, I think that looking "under the hood" may help me figure out how it's done....
