So i was having an issue with maya i use to use 2016 and when i rendered a model with Lambert material it would be fine but if i did it with a texture over it then its a no go it renders black. But if i do it with the texture as a targa file its all good it dose what it has to but i need to do fast processes not make targa files and place them need be. I am an indie dev and just trying to get it to work im using Maya 2017 now using Arnold and still getting same results.

Instead of showing useless black screen why don't you show the node graph from hypershade? You don't probably have a light in your scene or you haven't specified which camera you are going to render. One out of many guesses.

Also I don't understand what damn gibberish you are talking about Targa files and "fast processes". There's probably something wrong with your "texture". You need to be more specific.

To analyze issues you need to check the render log, open script editor and see what messages outputs when you hit render...

Uhh...
If you're an indie dev, you should have a PBR workflow to export to engines such as Unreal. Apply Stingray shaders to your shit, switch to Maya Hardware 2.0 and voilá.
Arnold is a renderer used for CG in the movie industry. It's not a pipeline for consoles or PC games.

I bet you have no lights in your fucking scene

Does it work with other materials? Such as phong
Put a light in there.
