muscle deformer

#1

ive started using muscle deformer (without muscle objects) on my rigs and really like the extra control.

2 issues:

  1. Cant see my character in render now…all visility on mesh seems tuned on…

  2. I lose the ability to use move skinned joints tool? Or does the deformer update live if i keep skin enabled???

Thanks

I can’t give you a solution to #2, but the issue with #1 could be that Maya is automatically changing your “Render Stats” for that mesh. If you pick the mesh, and open up the Attribute Editor, and then navigate to the mesh’s SHAPE tab, then bonk the “Render Stats” arrow. Listed under that are some rendering attributes. You most likely will want to make sure they are all toggled ON if they aren’t.
Its happened to me before where Maya has automatically changed those settings, making the mesh unrenderable.
