Paint Effects Instance Bug?

[bobchapin]

I'm using a Linux version of Maya 7 and I'm running into a problem when I instance Paint Effects. The strokes are not matching up with my particle positions. And yes, the stroke is centered at the origin

In fact, if I try to simply translate the paint effects stroke, the stroke translates twice the distance.

I tried this on Maya 6 and it's not a problem. Unfortunately, I'm now locked into Maya 7 and I'm hoping I can find a workaround. As it is, I tried grouping the stroke and curve, turning off "inherit transform" on the stroke, and instancing the group. Unfortunately, I get the same results.

Any suggestions guys!?

Thanks,
Bob

There was a double transform issue with the pfx interactive draw that was introduced in version 7, but was later fixed(I can't remember offhand if it made it into 7.01 or not). Does the paint effects render for you at the correct location?

Thanks so much for getting back to me so fast Duncan - I was going crazy with this one! And thanks so much for watching over this list. I think that's extremely cool!

Yea, it's rendering in the correct location - thanks! I'll just try and ignore the anim (or use a substitue geometry for preview).
