particle render probs
 

hi greeting everyone, i try doing a particle effect in maya but
after i done my particle i render out but in render view i can c nothing.
i am using the mental ray with default setting.
i try using ipr it pops out error // Error: Unable to allocate offscreen buffer for snapshot.
any1 can help me, thanks a lot

Try the hardware render mode :)

i try maya h/w but got // Warning: Graphics card capabilities are insufficient for Hardware rendering on this machine.
how am i suppose to do?

Try updating your graphics card drivers but I did think that rendering was done on your cpu's...........dave

i am using laptop, can i update it??

how to i reduce the camera speed while i am attach the same curve as particle?

yes you can update mate.....dunno about the camera though...sorry mate

is ok tq bullet.soli if i ask u some silly question, in laptop do we just take the old version graphic card and then replace it?

yeh mate just dxdiag if its Win XP then get graphic card make and driver version then update, you can always rollback.

i c tq bullet1968

Do you have a dedicated or integrated graphics card? Integrated video cards could have issues with hardware rendering.

i don have any extra graphic card. only one dedicated graphic card which is ati 4670

Soory mate I am still in bed with a virus and can hardly move....maybe Genny can help, sorry mate Im out of the game for for a while...will try to help when Im back to normasl
