FAO CAA Year 3: Wrap Deformers Change Your Render Settings & The Fix

When you use a wrap deformer in Maya it turns off  rendering (Render Stats) preferences for the controlling object. This is an old Maya default. You will need to them back on by selecting the controlling object and going to the Render Stats tab in the Attribute Editor (see above). You will notice this problem when rendering. Your object will be missing from your render because it's Primary Visibility (amongst other settinging) has been switched off.
