I'm pretty new to 3D studio Max. I'm trying to apply asphalt texture using ProMaterials Generic in 3ds max 2009.

I've created an asphalt texture in photoshop. Here is the link:

I've created a new 3D scene, created a box, applied ProMaterials Generic with diffuse map of my asphalt texture to the box, added a Daylight system.
Problem is, that in the viewport, texture looks just the way I want, but when I render it (renderer is mental ray), texture on the box appears gray instead of black.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Here is the link to 3ds max file:

I can't seem to get these links to work, Have you tried just using a standard material and a standard light?.
remove the variables and see if the problem persists.

Its probably not the best idea to use daylight system unless you have a specific reason, just use a target directional light or an omni.
