Why doesn't eevee work for me?

Why is it that the same seen in cycles fails to render in eevee? It looks as though the albedo texture image turns completely black. All the other textures seem to work but not the albedo. Not just in render mode but in texture mode as well.

    Keep in mind it's still in beta and last I heard albedo doesn't work in Eevee.  If someone could confirm albedo doesn't work, I'd appreciate it.

    In the past I've had to disconnect and reconnect the base color to get it to display in Eevee.

    phoenix4690 Hmm. I've tried that but it still doesn't work. Even when I ctrl+shift click the texture image node it looks completely black in eevee but appears as albedo when I change back to cycles.

    jpy1967 hmm strange maybe ssmurfmier1985 know more about what can cause this problem.

    yyukinoh1989 nope, sadly I do not..

    But my best guess is that Silent is right about it not being supported (yet?) in Eevee, just like the pointiness value and the AO node...

    Alternatively it could just be a bug that still has to be fixed. It is only Beta after all! And Eevee is a brand new render engine, it's bound to have some issues in the beginning, which will no doubt be improved upon during the next couple of years 😊

    ssmurfmier1985 then maybe it's best to send over the problem to the makers
