    hi,how do you enable the visibility attribute(Attribute "visibility"
    "trace" [1]) for objects in a maya scene when you use 3delight to
    render the scene.when i try to use ray tracing 3delight shaders,the
    objects dont seem to be visible to the trace rays.how can you make the
    objects in maya visible to the trace rays?

    thx in advance.

    You need to attach a "geo attribs node" to your object(s).

    You do this in the Attribs Node Manager. Add a Geo Attribs and attach
    it to your selected geometry. If you then select the attribs node
    (double click on it in the manager) you will see 'visible to
    reflections' in the 'Visibility' page in the Maya Attribute Editor.
