i've got a scene going with some modified paint effects strokes in it. the problem is, every time i render the scene, the paint effects dont show.

paint effects stroke rendering is enabled in the render globals...

i'd really prefer not to have to convert them to polys.

can anyone help?

thanks a lot :)

What kind of brush ? :)
Btw, don't forget the lights :)

Did you ever try looking into the camera's attributes? I can't remember but it's either the camera's attribute or the paint effects themselves... Also... what renderer are you using?

Are you rendering in the standard Maya renderer? PaintFX don't render with Mental Ray.

Note that PaintFX can't be seen on reflections / behind refractions because it is a post processing effect.

thanks for the responses guys.. it turns out the paint effects were there all along, they were just smaller (way smaller) than they appeared in the viewport and impossible to see in the render :shrug:

well, actually i was wrong about that, im still daunted as far as that problem goes. im rendering in maya software, i checked the camera attribute editor...

as far as this double post, it's because i for some reason can't edit my previous one. whenever i try, it tells me i need an activation code but i wont let me use it becuase it says i've already requeted one in the last 24 hours
