Paint Geometry Question Maya 2017

[Anonymous]

Good Evening everyone!

          I had a quick question, I am trying to use Paint Geometry to add leaves to a potted vine plant for my scene but I can't seem to get the leaves to paint onto the vine. When painting they just get thrown off the vine into the scene space. Also it seems to be duplicated more than one leaf object, with a single click.

I used CV curve tool and extruded along a curve to create the vines if that has any impact on what I am trying to

accomplish.

Any help would be great thank you!

Hopefully this screenshot can assist identifying my problem.

Hi!

Make sure the vein is selected and the brush is not too big.

But why not do this with MASH, seems to be more versatile for this job, you also can paint maps for manual control.

Try this, you can always place and paint your vine using Arnold, when its time to render.
