Rendering the curtain scene

In these next steps you render the curtain, which is Paint Effects hair, in the Maya Software renderer.

To render the Paint Effects hair using the Maya Software renderer

1. To modify the Render Settings for Paint Effects do the following:
   • Click the Render Settings button on the Status Line. The Render Settings window appears.
   • Select Maya Software from the Render Using drop-down list.
   • In the Maya Software tab, go to the Paint Effects Rendering Options section and turn on Oversample and Oversample Post Filter. These help achieve a better look for the Paint Effects rendering.
   • Click Close to close the Render Settings window.
2. Before rendering be sure to display the hair system’s Current Position ( Hair > Display > Current Position).
3. Play the simulation and stop at the frame you want to render.
4. Click the Render Current Frame button on the Status Line.

   The curtain scene is rendered and should look something like the image below.

   If you have trouble seeing the beads, try moving the light closer to the curtains or increasing the light intensity in the Channel box.
