rendering grass with mental ray

Hi everybody

I´ve set up a grass scene with paint effects. When I got to render it with maya hardware it worked fine, but when I used the mental ray renderer the grass just doesn´t shows up. Any hints?

I think you'd have to convert the grass to polygons (Modify>Convert>PaintFX to Polygons) Then it should work fine

What he said, I don't think mental ray supports paint effects.
