New to cheetah, having an odd rendering problem
First, I want to say I'm very happy with Cheetah. I've been doing game programming and robotics simulation for years, but have only used Wings3D for modeling. Cheetah has proven to be very nice, easy to learn.
So that being said, this is my first animation ( in fact, my first non-hello-world cheetah project ) and I'm experiencing something really odd.
I modeled my character -- a simple articulated robot -- and got the materials and rendering working well. Here's a rendering:
Then, I got started with the animation. While animating -- specifically, editing a spline motion path -- I turned off and back on the robot's rendering many times, since I have a slowish, oldish g5.
Now, when I render, I only get the wheel at the bottom:
I have NO idea what's going on! I've checked that all the objects are set to render in the final rendering ( they are ) I've checked that the materials are sane, they seem to be.
So, I'm assuming I turned something off, somewhere. But I can't figure out what. Can anybody here help me trouble shoot? Since I'm new to Cheetah I don't have the kind of real world experience to know what kind of setting or parameters I might have junked.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
