fur error..urgent help required.
 

hi, when am trying to render a frame or a batch the fur does not seem to render and sometimes hair too. There is an error that shows :-

Maya Fur Renderer: Error, Parsing failed for data file D:

Maya Fur Renderer [buildAreaEqualMap failed]
================================================== ========================
setAttr "defaultRenderQuality.useMultiPixelFilter" 1;

Maya Fur Renderer [buildAreaEqualMap failed]
================================================== ========================
setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.renderLayerSubdirs" 1;
setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.renderLayerEnable" 1;
setAttr "defaultRenderGlobals.renderLayerPassEnable" 1;

what does this mean and what can i do to resolve this prob.

bye
