Hi, everyone take a look at this problem. I'm trying to paint some hair using paint effects in Maya 6.0 in this version you can make standard poly primitives paintable. But when I paint on a standard poly face you see what happens on the left, anybody know why the hair is shooting in the air like that, it works fine with a nurbs plane, but I don't want ti use a nurbs plane.

please help.

Weird, did you also post in the "Maya" forum here? They may have a better idea...

My initial thought is that maybe you need to flip normals on the plane

Edit Polygons > normals > Flip (i think)

But more likely it's a hair attribute or fur description setting I'm not all that familiar with.

be sure to post in the Maya help forum here at CGtalk also. They are a huge help.
