Title:	Distribution Channel Feature Broken Ornatrix 8
Category:	Crash/Critical
Status:	Open

Problem

Description:	Attempting to assign any kind of distribution channel to any hair object causes 3ds max 2025 to crash. It also doesn't recognize the Vertex Color channel (does not appear in the dropdown of available maps).
Steps to Reproduce:	1. Create a sphere. 2. Apply Ornatrix hair to the sphere. Using either the GuidesFromMesh or HairFromGuides modifier: 3. Try to use the "Create New Channel" feature. Crash. Alteratively: 3. Select a channel and hit "Assign". Crash. Doesn't matter what channel, what material, what color mode max is in. Nothing. Hard Crash.

charlyxxx	Hey @mjcaudill Charly here and nice to meet you I tested all your methods on Latest Nightly 8.1.5.34860 with 3ds Max 2025, and everything works perfectly—no crashes at all. Please check this build on your side. Thank you and have a great day Best regards Andrew. ___ I'm 3D grooming Artist since 2016 My portfolio YOUTUBE

mjcaudill	Doesn't work on my end. Using nightly 8.1.5.34878 Also fails if I hit "Assign" on any map listed in the dropdown. And the vertex paint channel still doesn't show up in the list if I add a vertex paint modifier manually. Whatever the problem is, it seems tied directly to the "Assign" button. As the video shows, it adds the vertex paint modifier just fine, but when it (presumably) tries to assign it, it dies.
