Hi all!
Can anyone try and attach some fur to my model I have supplied to see if it's a problem with the model or Maya.
I have used fur many times but I just cant render the fur after attaching it.
If I create a new scene, create a poly sphere attach a fur discription and render it , it works fine but when I try and do the same with this model I get no rendering results. The discription attaches fine and shows feed back,
So could some one have a look at it for me and see what you think!

Cheers for any help
steve

I didnt have any trouble attaching the fur after importing your MB into a new scene. Try making sure your not rendering in Mental Ray. I forget to check sometimes.

I did manage to get it sorted, what I had to do was export the geometry as 3ds and import it and then it was fine??

Could you post your file back to me so I can look at the uVs
