Defect: Consistent Crash when Trying to Brush

13 June 2013 #4253
speveo	I'm having the same problem. I downloaded the demo version and I evaluated all of the features in Max 2014 and everything worked very well, well enough to persuade me to buy a license, but after installing the official version yesterday nothing works. I try to brush the guides, the guides start to flash in a strange way and then it crashes. If I try to add a Surface Comb modifier it crashes. Basically it's unusable in Max 2014. I did install it on Max 2013 as well with the same installer, and that works flawlessly. I'm runninng on Windows 8 Pro.

drlesser	Hello, I also confirmed it works fine on 3DS Max 2013 on the same machine. It crashes as described above when running 3DS Max 2014 (both 64 bit).

Description:	I setup a simple scene by adding a sphere and then added ornatrix hair to the selection. There are three modifiers, OX Guide from Surface, OX Edit Guides, OX Hair From Guides. The sphere is 5 cm. I adjust guide length under OX Guide from Surface. Then I go to OX Edit Guides, select brush, then Comb Brush. As soon as I try to brush the hair, Max 2014 (64 bit) crashes. There are no error messages. Max simply closes. I am running Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit and using a Quadro K4000. I have 24Gb Ram.
