Strange results using text toll with Maya 2017 and Arnold

fralewis — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 17:57:37 GMT

I just tried Maya 2017 on both my Mac and my Mac running Windows. In both cases when I try to render text with the Arnold renderer I get the following odd artifacts in the areas of my text that have closed forms. Anyone know what I am doing wrong or what settings I need to change. Doesn't show up in Maya renderers. Don't yet have Mental Ray for Maya 2017.

Has already been asked twice before in the last month.

Thanks I did a search but didn't use mash as a search term. Will try this solution
