I applied a nodes texture to my model, but the render turns out black. Does anyone know why?
Possibly not connected all the way through? Lighting? Running through compositor? Wrong connecting node? Number of possibilities- can u post the file please- unless someone has had this same thing…
here’s the file:

(sorry for the double post. my computer glitched)
Kind of hard to see the material without any lights. 
You left them on the second layer. Shift click to make both active layers so you can see the render or move them into the same layer as the object.
So it wwas number 2… Lighting- happens often… it just needs a lamp in your scene- or turn on Ambient Occlusion 
Right. Yeah, I saw that. Good call.
