Thanks for the suggestion, but we needed them to be .TIFFs. However, I did find a solution. It turns out that InDesign has a handy feature called “Relink to Folder” where you can relink your files if they have the same names but different extensions. It’s located in the hamburger menu of the “Links” panel.

Thank you! Increasing the scale of the project fixes the issue. It’s strange that increasing the scale of the texture alone doesn’t produce the same results.

Nope that’s not it.

First of all the rendered image looks very different from the preview sphere. Second, the material works fine in other scenes. To show you what I mean, I created a new scene with the material applied to a cylinder. I rendered two scenes: one normal, and one with all but the first color texture layer hidden.

Here is the new scene rendered normally:

And here it is with only one layer in the color textures visible:

As you can see, the 1st image resembles the preview sphere and what the render should look like, and the 2nd image resembles the problem I am having rendering the other scene.
