Hi guys, I modeled a jet turbine that is going to be animated. Recently noticed that the propellers (if it is how are they called) are not rendering with Mental ray nor Maya software but the other objects are!!!. I don't know what's causing this, they have the lambert1 default material assigned with no transparency. I am not an experencied user to correctly determine how to solve this and I really ask for your help guys. I am runing desperate since this is for a scholar project thats due to wednesday and Remodelling them will consume time that I can't afford to loose since i have other projects to do U.U . Thx In Advance.

    Could be that your normals are reversed and two sided rendering is turned off. Turn on back face culling or turn off two sided lighting to see which way they are oriented. Reverse the normals and see if that fixes the issue.

    It could also be that somehow that geometry had its settings changed to be turned off for rendering. There are a couple settings in there the attribute editor that control if the object is renderable or not.

    Try that, and post back.

    If you can get a copy/paste of any error messages you're getting in your log, I'd be happy to check it out.

    Typically whenever I had this problem, it was because there was an error somewhere in the mesh, so the renderer is just flat out ignoring the model all together.

    Try a "mesh>>cleanup," search for any errors in your mesh, and see what comes up.

    Sorry guys, Tried everything you mentioned and it didn't worked. Thx for your answers. Had to model everything again It looks like the mesh had a problem but don't know wich, the bad part is that I used an element duplicated many times over the entire model. Now, the rare thing was that The cylinder disapeared, and also had to remodel that. Mmmm why does Maya hate me so much? xD
