Defect: Grooming crash

Problem

Description:

Hi.

So i'm using ornatrix, but its really difficult and frustrating, as i am getting constant crashes when grooming, ive seen these same errors at work with different versions and it has steared me away from ornatrix in the past, but i kinda need to use it now.

I get this error whenever i groom, i can't groom for longer than a minute without this error coming up, i can then choose to continue, but the grooming doesn't work properly after that, and have to restart max and groom for another minute till the next error

This is a copy of the error

File: d:\teamcity\buildagent\work\cdf694efa24c5eef\ephere\geometry\native\Matrix.inl
Line: 271
Function: Ephere::Geometry::Matrix<3,4,float>::LookAt
Expression: Assert failed: Ephere::NearEqual( directionLegnthSquared, T( 1 ), T( 0.000001 ) ), Vector [0.879387, 0.431705, 0.200774] has length squared 1, which is not close enough to 1

Could you please help me with this

Steps to Reproduce:

Just grooming.

i've tried max 2016 and 2018

Tycane3d	Hi, a little more information, it does seem to be more stable in 2016, but it still crashes, less frequently though.

Tycane3d	Hi Marsel. Thanks for the quick reply!, i am using the latest stable beta build (15492), but I had this crash with older non beta versions as well. I will try the new upcoming build when I finish this project as the last update destroyed my projects groom, in 2016 the crashes are workable, i will follow up then. Great support!
