I made a squid model and I made it an emitter and i textured the particles it emits; now, when i render the scene the particles dont render!! Do I need to check some special option or something? On the bottom right bar it says "Particle rendering skipped". Any ideas??

The reason they're not showing up is because Maya's particles aren't rendered with the software renderer (well most of em won't anyways). You'll have to hardware render your particle animations, and composite them into your scene in post production. For more specific information, check out the particles tutorial in "Instant Maya"
