Reflections, Refractions, Fog Paint FX FAQ for Maya

Reflections, Refractions, Fog:
How can I preview environment fog in the Paint Effects panel? (updated: 03/13/05)
How can I get paint effects to work with light fog? (updated: 03/13/05)
We have a scene that has PaintFX grass & fire that renders and looks fine. After we add a couple volume lights to the scene, however, PaintFX has significant problems. The fire appears as only a few colored pixels and the grass disappears except on the edges of the scene where it also appears as a few stray colored pixels. (updated: 03/13/05)
Handling a scene with transparent objects, fog and paint effects (updated: 03/13/05)
In one version I raytrace the dragonfly's wings and on the other I raycast them. On the raytrace version the wings appear in front of the paint-fx and are opaque, which is a problem in itself but nevertheless shouldn't be the case as they are transparent and I have double checked all the relevant render settings both in the render globals and shader settings, and I am satisfied they are correct. Whereas in the raycast version they appear behind the paint-fx and are transparent.....why? (updated: 03/13/05)
