If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
I'm using the misss fast skin shader in Maya 6.5 and. I'm trying to batch render out a character, animnated with endorphin. For some reason it works when I use the render view but not when I batch render it, the character is not showing up.
We have a renderfarm but the shader is not installed on the machines yet so I need to render it locally.I'm not using any FG or GI just the misss fast skin shader and some pointlights.
Does anyone know what is going on?


Also if rendering it over a farm would make a difference?

Thank's a lot

Yep completelly black like there is nothing in the scene.
I kind of gave up on that project, but if you have any idea what's going on I would be happy to find out.
Thank's

I had a problem with the Misss_skin_fast as well. Sounds a bit like yours. When I rendered my character, it would appear nicely in Photoshop, but not in After Effects. What happened? The Misss_skin_fast does not appear in the alpha layer. Funny, eh! I had to render the object with a standard shader to get a correct alpha map and composite that with the RGB layers! Hope I could help with that....

Hi - I have had this exact problem in maya 6 and found if I delete the history of the disappearing mesh before I use batch rendering it all works fine. Try deleting the history and then rendering.
