View Full Version : Jiggle not rendering in mayabatch?

I'm trying to learn to work with jiggle deformers. I made a sphere, distorted it, painted on jiggle weights, and made it fall under gravity. In Maya it shows some pretty extreme jiggling:

But when I go to render the video with mayabatch, the jiggle doesn't show up:

And it doesn't show up in playblasts, either. Is there some trick to getting jiggles to render? Maybe some setting that I need to switch on?

Yes, you need to create a Jiggle Cache. That way when Maya batch renders it doesn't have to calculate the jiggle dynamics as it goes, it just reads it like standard animation.

Anything dynamic like particles, cloth, fluids etc usually need to be baked before batch rendering to get the correct result. I would have thought a playblast would be ok though.
