Sometimes the hardware render buffer can do it if the card cant do full hardware rendering?? (It worked for my old PC before I got a graphics card)

I do not think anything can take a Maya file with particles other than Mental Ray as a .mr or .mi file, and others like Renderman with a .rib file etc.
Maybe there are others like Monte Carlo or Vray-beta that can but in all cases other than Mental Ray stand alone, I have no idea.
You might need to ask the support of those other renderer's if they support Maya 8.5 files that include certain particle types.
Anyone else have any success in any other renderers like this?

That is a VERY good point as well gster.Originally posted by gster123
Not to sure about that, but I could be wrong...

The Hardware render buffer is a bit different in terms of workflow for rendering hardware passes than the "Hardware Renderer, but I use it almost daily, and find it super easy to work with, and INSANE fast, as it uses the hardware
Check the help (F1) for details on rendering a pass with JUST the hardware render buffer.
