      I have couple of files which I modeled myself and they would not render textures with any preset I tried. The render comes out as grey scale with coloured sky....quite bizzare.
      Does anyone have idea what might cause this?

          Don't have it here as it is on the other computer. But imagine Black and white render with normal sky.

            Did try with just coloured box in fresh file and Vray rendered no problem so I deduced the problem is not with Vray itself.
            Did try exploding absolutely everything but that did not do.
            The files render with Podium and Twilight no problem.

              You haven't turned on the Global Material override have you?

                No I have not turned on global material override. None of the materials are showing in the Material editor as well.

                  Really? That's just plain odd. You don't have the same list of materials in V-Ray editors as in SU?
                  Never seen that.

                      Has the location of your textures changed?

                          Are the textures visible in SU?
                          Are they only grey when rendering? if so: have you moved the original textures you've used?

                            The textures are visible in SU. The textures are greyscale in Vray mat editor and renders are greyscale with sky in colour. I have not moved any textures. The models render with Podium and Twilight without any problems.

                              What does it say in the Render Progress window? For each texture it should say if it fails or loads successfully.

                                  MtlMulti (noname) "mtls" parameter is deprecated; use "mtls_list" and "ids_list" instead.

                                    That always appears at the beginning. That's normal. But after that - there should be references to the textures used - and after the file paths it should say if they loaded correctly or not.

                                            Are you able to open them in other applications?

                                            Have you tried to clear you temp folder?
