View Full Version : Maya 5 not rendering fur
Sambad 10-09-2007, 06:15 PM Hi, I'm just using maya software and not mental ray to render but fur just won't render. Does anyone have any ideas?
Much appreciated,
Sambad

Please provide details of your scene file settings. Like, have you checked if the primary visibility of fur is on, if fur rendering is enabled under the fur render settings tab. Also, can you see the fur in your view port? Do you have a light in your scene file? If not, add one and make sure enable default light is off in the render globals settings (important for any kind of lighting and rendering and not just fur). If you do have a light make sure you have added this light to the fur node so that its able to affect it and its shadows. You can do this under the fur menu. Most likely, this could be your problem. When using maya software renderer, its necessary to associate/link every single light that you want to use on your fur with that fur node itself. Mental ray, on the other hand doesn't require this.
