Will it not work? Seeing that warnings are usually not that big of a problem, its errors and whatnot when it cannot work that are the things that you should look out for. I get warnings all the time, they mean very little user added image

. I dont know what that warning means though.

well
i haven't got any problems so far
I am waiting for the rendering to finish and I ll see

All I know is that everytime I Rewind the animation, the error message appears

I rendered it before but apparently my computer froze because the rendering did not finish

I am rendering right now once again, using only one light, no shadows and no raytracing to see if it renders ok

i'll let you know if there is something wrong

Usually, when you are working with Maya's dynamics engine, expressions, or pretty much anything that might be "dynamicly" animated, that warning, (or others) tend to appear.

Usually, there is nothing "wrong" it's simply Maya's way of warning you that things may not evaluate, or solve, exactly the same way every run.

Even though it may appear EXACTLY the same every run, it may be even as small as a nano degree off of what it calculated the previous run.

Each warning is different, but if you feel that you want to know more, just do a search for that warning, and it should present you with an explanation for it.
