Problem

Description:

Hi.

I updated Ornatrix to version 7.3.4, which changed the look of the hair.
The first one is version 7.2.2 and the second one is version 7.3.4.
Is there any remedy for this problem?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. This issue can be fixed by executing this command with the damaged hair object selected:

for m in $.modifiers do
(
if classof m == Ox_Edit_Guides then m.interpolationMethod = 1
)

Thanks for your reply.
I tried that command, but it did not resolve the error.
I also found that turning off Skin in BaseSurface changes the result.
This problem did not occur in version 7.2.2.
I have uploaded that scene for you to verify.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi.

I tried various things for a week, but still could not solve the problem.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you very much.

Sorry for the delay. I'm still investigating. I will get back to you very soon.

As a workaround, you can go back to the build where it worked, export the guides as Ornatrix Alembic. Then you can update again, import the alembic with the guides (which will create a new hair object)

Attach them to the character using Ground Strands and then copy-paste the modifiers from the old to the new hair object.

Thank you for the response.  

I can confirm that the workaround you provided is effective.
Thank you very much.
However, I would like to avoid using this workaround if possible, as I could not reproduce the issue without aggregating some modifiers.
Do you plan to resolve this issue in a future update?
(Will it be possible to achieve the same results as in past versions without using the workaround?)

Yes. The workaround is just an option so you can continue working on your project for now. We are working on this.
