I have a scene I'm working on. The fire is on its own layer and needs to be rendered out by itself. I'm using Maya's default fire, emitting from a polygon surface. When I hit render, it's there. When I batch render, I get all blank images. Any thoughts? Perhaps I have not set it up properly. I'm using Maya Software to render.

Have you cached your particles?

Hah! No >< Missed that minor step. How exactly do I set that up again? This is my first time with particles.

Menu bar > Solvers > Create particle disk cache, all the info is there for you to read. :)
