MetaBalls do not appear at render time.

Hi,

I have created a TyFlow system (and tried also with PFlow) in Max and added it to the metaball in the scene.
The material doesnt show in the viewport (i think that is normal) but it is assigned to the metaball as I am able to pick it with the ME.

The preview works fine in the viewport as you can see, but it doesn't show up in either the IPR or production render.

I feel it must be something very basic, but cant find any advice on this anywhere?

I presume you're rendering with GPU, where VRayMetaballs are not yet supported. It should work fine in CPU.

Thank you very much.
I changed it to production render buy forgot to try it without the GPU, I knew it must be something simple...!

Do you know when this will be supported by GPU in the future, would be very beneficial.

Thanks again,

Adam

It will be, eventually. We do have an improvement request for the VRayMetaball's support logged (internal bug-tracker id: VGPU-1049). I'll add your request to it as well.

Great thank you!
