Disappearing Geometry on Render
My problem is when I render, everything from the base model disappears. What I modeled renders. Playing around with the problem I discovered that all the geometry disappears also when I use the high quality renderer on the screen. The file was originally a FBX file. Somewhere in the mix, I think I am missing a setting making the item not render. I created a new Blinn and modeled everything with the same Blinn with the same result, so I don't think it is the material.
I have imported the file into 3DS and all components render fine. I hate 3DS and would much rather work in Maya 2008. Any ideas?
ps.... I haven't been doing much in Maya for about 2 years. I used to post here quite often, but have unfortunately forgotten more then I remember. Argh. I know I'll get some great help here. Thanks.

I'll give it a shot. Its funny, but it all looks great in 3DS. I just don't know how to do some of the visual effects I'll need to do in 3DS...plus I need to go work with a friend who has 3DS.how about exporting the model again. maybe an OBJ or .ma.

Honestdom.....no offense but I thought that was a pretty hookey idea. IT WORKED.how about exporting the model again. maybe an OBJ or .ma.
I freaking hate Maya. No other software would that work. Thanks for what turned out to be a great idea! You've earned a Dancing Bananas imoticon, there just isn't one.
