Paint effect probem! please help!

I made a bird and I'm trying to put feathers on it with paint effects. I made the object paintable, and i can paint feathers on it, but when I release my mouse to end the brush stroke the brush stroke I drew suddenly gets deformed. how do I solve this. Btw my bird contains multiple meshes that I combined and merged together. could that be related to my issue?

I recommend switching to Blender. You can then paint your feathers on the mesh as a hair particle system emitting the feather mesh, and paint/comb the size and shape of the feathers. 

 

Blender is free and open source. Its community answers questions far more rapidly than Maya's (as demonstrated by this post.) I am having the same problem as you in Maya, and am sad to see no answers here after 3 months.
