Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Try enabiling raytraced shadows in hte render globals as I think that works for S/W rendered particles (if that what you used)

hmmm... interesting. Hows about a screenshot of your render globals? Especially the raytrace part.

Select the particle shape node and under render stats select visable in reflections and refractions (if you want them)

Worked for me

CAn you post what the scene looks like now?

And... is that book a Saxon Math algebra book? it sure looks like it (I had saxon math books for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade, but last year (pre-algebra, 7th grade) and this year (algebra1, 8th grade) I had a different book series.

lol!

Yes I agree that the saxon book is a piece of crap- and should be burned to cinders. Then again, I thought that about all the teachers that taught from them too! user added image
