The problem that I am having is when I am making a object live whereby I am making some CV's curves on this object. After making the CV's I loft the curves. I then proceed to create a wrap between the object and the loft. When I go to render the scene the only thing that shows is the loft object. I display the alpha channel and there is nothing but the loft. What has happen to the other object? I have tried to get to the inputs to these nodes to try to restack but I am at a lose of that.

Did you turn off the base object from being live? I am not sure if when you mentioned wrap if you mean the wrap deformer or something else. Can you please explain.

I was using a wrap deformer. I did turn the base object off after performing the wrap deformer. There was only the nurb path made from lofting the CV curvers in the render window. I tried the maya software render as well as Mental ray. The outcome was the same.

The object that wrap deforms automatically becomes invisible. If you want to see it at render time, go to the Render Stats of the shape and turn on Primary Visibility. Have a good one :)

I was sick for a while or I would have gotten back to you sooner. I felt that I checked the visibility during the many things that I checked after the problem occurred. I can see that I certainly overlooked it. Thanks for reminding me of the little things that can cause you a lot of problems. ;)
