rendering problem
 

I'm having problems rendering Iges files in maya. All the surfaces appear to be trimmed when selected but the objects when rendered appear full of gaps (see attached pics of a spray cap).
Any Ideas?

Try increasing the tesselation vaules in the attribute editor for the surfaces giving problems.

Tried that but it had no effect on the image. Are there any Iges plugins for Maya? or any other dodges that might work?

Many Thanks,

Marcus

did you try increasing the edge setting (cant remember the exact name but its found in the tesselation dropdown)

Where's that? Just looked for it but it's not under tesselation or advanced tesselation. Am using Maya 4.0.

Thanks,

Marcus

*edit* (with shape node selected) open attribute editor>options>smooth edge.
doesnt always comepletely remover such probs, but usually helps a lot

I'll take a look when i get back from work.. was sure it was in the tesselation tab though :(
