I have created a shirt using maya cloth. The problem occured when I had reopened the file. The curves and stitches were still present but the polygonal cloth was gone. The script editor reads "Warning: TrenderPolyShape: :sample : mesh 'clothShape1' delivered an empty surface." I don't know if this has anything to do with it but now when I try to save the file I get a "warning that the cache is not open. It is not saved" message. Whats going on here.
