Paint Effects problem... Plz help
Hiya
I am working on a 3D still for a class assignment... I have a cylinder with paint effects plants in my scene.. When I go to render, it does not show up.... My "Enable Stroke Rendering" option is on, and I see the stroke in my scene... It just doesn't show up in my rendered scene... I opened a new empty project window and threw a cylinder with the same paint effects strokes in it, and it renders fine... just not in my project scene that I need it for... Any ideas? Please help me... :( |
That's odd. How about exporting everything from your project file to a new file?
|
Hmm I just attempted what you suggested... still didn't work.. :( THanx for trying to help...
I'm thinking there MUST be a setting somewhere that I am missing that is on by default, but got changed somehow in my project... but what is it? |
ok.. instead of exporting the whole scene... I just exported only the plant pot with the stroke, etc (no lights or anything else) for the paint effects plant into a new file... and it renders fine... I'm trying to narrow this down to what the problem is...
|
Hope you'll find what the problem is... can't really help more w/o seeing the file...
|
HA ! I figured it out...
I started exporting and testing more and more of my scene in a new file... It appears that Maya paint effects doesn't like to work with Maya fur... the character in my scene has fur for hair... When I deleted his fur feedback node and tested the render... the paint effects plant rendered fine... I wasn't aware that they could not be used in the same render.. I guess I will have to do an additional render and composite the fur over the rest of the scene in post... |
I'm glad you sorted it out. Good to know about this little pitfall...
