odd final gather problem

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hey there,

I'm rendering using final gather. The output does not render my main character (a complex subdiv surface) or any paint effects in the scene.

Any ideas? user added image
