Mental ray render engine can't deal with Paint effects so you you have two options :ġ- Convert the paint effect to polygon with quad topology in order to keep it's texture looks goodĭisadvantage of this method : if you didn't adjust the right values of the convert process you will have a lot of spins which will be really expensive in rendering your sceneĢ- Render the paint effect on a separate render pass with Maya software render engine then composite it in discreet combustion or Adobe Photoshop.ĭisadvantage of this method : Render Passes are really difficult to understand as a beginner but it's really important if you want to be professional in rendering because a lot of effect would be more easier to be done in Photoshop or After Effects more than in Maya such as Blur shadows or depth of field.
