Rendering an object without proper color surface

Anonymous

I am rendering a scene and all the objects get their proper color unless one that it shows in white instead of her proper color. Why is this?

When you open the surface settings, does the OpenGL settings match with the Cinerender settings.
If they don't, when you are in the Cinerender settings there will be a 'Match Settings' button.
You can match Cinerender to Internal (this is what you will want if your OpenGL settings are correct) or you can match the Internal to the Cinerender settings.

Is it the only object using that particular surface material?
If not and the other objects are OK then the problem is not with the surface material.
If it is the only object using that surface then my guess is that the OpenGL and Cinerender settings don't match.

Is the render material set correctly?
What you see on screen and what you render are two different settings in the same material (OpenGL & Cinerender).
They can be completely different.

Are other elements using the same material and they look fine?
If so it might be a lighting problem.

I can see the right material in OPEN GL but not rendering. IT is the only object that it is not shown properly.

Thank you, I didn't match the cinerender with the openGL
