Summary

Damn..I cant get it to work..

using 5.1.5.11228, when I try on a sphere like u did..all works great.. when i try in my own file with spline based guides it does not work.. :(

I must have a ghost in the machine..I keep getting all these issues since i started using OX, feeling frustrated!!! :(:(.

Now after I tested the sphere and worked I went back to my max file tested it again AND NOW ITS WORKING!! :(:(:(:(:(.

By the way Jeordanis what do you use to capture screens? is that GIF's?  its useful to show my steps when i encounter an issue.

Me again! :).. Lucid not working Again..and this time Im not using splines imported to hair..Im using native Guides created from quick hair object and groomed them...see video, I also updated to lates nvidia graphics and yes :), using latest lucid and OX.

Edit: I also tried to SAVE the recording to a file but this time I chose to sim only a certain time range...the error attached happened and crashed my max session

Edit2: Installed Latest nightly and it also does not record the sim..not even in a separate file.

Jeordanis Im sorry I missed your reply...I tried your file and perhaps i found something...when i opened your file I got a warning regardgin massfx, which leads me to believe that maybe Im using a diferent max 2017 version somehow :(, if I simulate your file ALL GOES WELL...i tried all 4 groups u created and they all work..but as soon as I MERGE MY FILE (with lucid applied to one of my hair objects) into yours, MAX imediately CRASHES :(.  this is the warning max gives me.. can u please tell me what u see in your about boc of 3dsmax this is mine.

EDIT: something VERY VERY ODD is happening..I opted to open my file, delete all lucid applied to the hair, saved this file...i then MERGED the objects into your scene and re-applied lucid to my hair..when I sim your HAIR will work but mine will not! :(

see max file attached please

here you go, if yours is the same max..then I really have no other idea! :(...

if you notice this max file is over 1MB so clearly something gets stored, but not displayed..if I clear the sim and save the file it goes down to about 700kb

Hi Again...just let you know that I have tried using the OTHER PC I have, and this problem still persists, I did a basic sphere and applied hair, selected hairs and assigned a group to them, it will not record the sim, only show it in the viewport.

same max version : max 2017 19.0 Update

6xGPU: GTX 1070

Windows 7 sp1

Lucid : 1.4.011331

Ornatrix: 5.1.5.11228

OUFF!!! :):)

Thanks for that follow up

I have to say...support like this, is what other companies should also do...thanks for the updated lucid, i will try right away and let you know :)

Jeordanis, its working on my test file ! :) thanks alot for your support...

1 Question is there a way to know what the group's ID's are AFTER making the groups without going back to edit guides mods and typing an ID and press select? it would avoid a few clicks :).
