Working on an image of rock candy swizzle sticks. Seven sticks, seven different colors. The candy tops are all derived from one model I created in Modeler. A single cube multiplied and varied using Point Clone Plus. Each candy top is rotated a bit and some cubes subtracted to make them more individual. Models are all very clean and proper, all polys tripled, about 17,000 polys each. All are using the same MXM with colors changed. Each MXM was created and saved separately.
When all are brought into the scene and rendered one is missing...the red one. It will render fine alone as seen in the first image.
But when the group is rendered it's missing as shown in the second image.
But wait it gets even better. I switched out the original red top with a duplicate of the blue, applied the red texture to it and it went missing too. I switched out the top a second time with a different color, the yellow, changed it's position and even kept the original yellow color and it's missing too!!
I am completely baffled...each color swizzle stick renders fine alone. But as a group one will go missing. I rendered from Lightwave as well as bringing the saved MXS into Studio...same thing happens.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks much,
Ron
