This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

WIP Apache Rendering issues

Hi all when I go to render my WIP some parts render and some parts DO NOT render

be them in the low res or the high res versions of the model

what can I do to fix this problem.

I have tried deleting history, please tell me that I do not have to remake the parts, as it would take some time. the chopper is on part 16 of the vids

thanks for your help
if need be I can attach a screen shot(s)

It might be a shader problem, clipping plane problem or a number of other things. Please attach a couple of sample images so we can see what's going on.

It can also be that those parts are sub-d's with some faces that's not four-sided and you rendering with Mental Ray.

Hi thanks for looking into this

I am not rendering with mental ray,
just using the stock maya render

I've included a few screen shots and hope that there is a cure that can be found for this little problem.

I can also include the sceen file if need be

That's strange. Try re-assigning the default lambert shader to everything.

Looks like you have turned off primary visibility as well as some other render stat attributes on some of your objects.
