Textures in Maya are showing up Black

tkkstar

I am really in need of some help fixing this problem. I have textures on my models in Maya but they are showing up completely black. I have done everything from pressing 6 to checking if the color channels are on. They textures show up in the hypershade and render but not in the viewport. I have also went into files that I know were working before to see if it was something I was doing on my end.

Is there anyway to fix this? I am using Maya 2011 64 bit with a Nvidia Geforce GT 640. I even tried updating the drivers but after doing that it wasn't allowing me to open Maya.

Does this happen in all rendering modes? (default, high quality, viewport 2.0)

I have seen this happen before, there are a couple of fixes but the one I remember doing was exporting the meshes as objs or fbx to a new scene and then reimporting or working with that new scene instead.

yeah this is usually a result of hq or viewport2.0 rendering modes.
I usually delete the material node and start over by bringing in the relevant texture maps while still in whatever rendering mode was producing the problem
