I'm new to animating.. and i've been using tutorials for a while.. so i decided to make a little project of my own.. now..

So i used metal ray dielectric materials to make these spheres i had.. act like they are glass.. and so i made a motion path for them.. and then i tried to use maya software to render the scene but the balls were moving in the scene but they were solid-white... and did not look like glass...

So then i tried to use mental ray to render the scene.. but i couldn't find an extension that would render what i made into an .avi or .mpg format.. what am i doing wrong?? I'm really confused.. and if i didn't describe things clearly its because im a bit confused myself.. :headbang:

here is the tutorial i completed.. and then added onto it.. by having the ball move.."Tutorial I Used"
