Model not showing in render

[quadraxis86]

I'm still fairly new to modelling. I'm working on a glass material in Maya 2011 using mia_material_x, and setting the preset to GlassSolid. I applied it to a test sphere, and the object will not show in the render. I can see the object in the viewport, and the Lambert material will show up in the render, but not the glass material I made. Does anyone know why the object with the glass material won't show up in the render and how to fix it? thanks for any help.

if you just do this in an empty scene there is not much to see except the highlights of the default light. if you really see just nothing i have to ask: have you choosen mental ry as renderer? maya software is not able to render the mia_material.
