Greetings,

I have a problem when using polywire in renderman. The polywire seems to only export correctly when its radius is set to 0.01. Any other value creates errors in the geometry. Also, values smaller than 0.01 all appear the same width. I've also tried scaling the source geometry up, then applying polywire, and then scaling back down. Anyone else encountered this problem? Any work arounds?

Thanks,
Matthew P.

It seems to work in mantra. Have you compared the generated RIBs? Are you rendering using subdivision surfaces? If you have split ends on your curve then PolyWire creates triangles so that might not render in prman's subd surfaces.
