Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

gotta make sure you have the geometry available to deform.

Have you got enough geometry in your object? but above all is your history turned on?

well I just made a simply poly cone, turned in 90 in X and then I put a lattice to it...

I have to check for the history but it should be on...

I tried it with NURBS and it didnt work either

Okay, Just Done your deformation to a cone using a lattice. No problem even with a cone that has 2 divisions in its height. I think you are pulling outer control points that have no effect on an object with very little subdivisions. And why would you want to do it on a nurbs cone anyway? You have plenty of smoothness control on that anyway. Try your test on a cube and get back to us......
