Problem

Description:

When I use the Hair Clustering modifier, and I save the 3dsmax file, It creates a jumbled mess. When I press remember clusters in the Hair clustering modifier and press that button a second time, it goes back to normal. What am I doing wrong?

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Create a Ornatrix modifier stack with a Hair clustering somewhere in between.

2) Save 3dsmax file.

Screenshots with problems in attatchment.

Hello,

What version of Ornatrix and 3dsmax are you using?

Hello,

The Hair Clustering and Strand Clustering modifiers have been deprecated in V6 beta. Please use the Clump modifier instead.

Thanks for the reply but I don't really understand why that would mean that the previous workflow should be broken? Aren't these 'deprecated' modifiers retained to keep compatibility with older versions. Then, it would make sense that they at least function properly? I also have crashes with the new Clump modifier. Can't you fix the problem so I can keep using the old modifiers too?

Hi,

The problem is that we are not maintaining those modifiers anymore because they have been replaced by Clump modifier. What we can do is address the crash that you are having with the Clump modifier. Please describe the steps or actions that are causing the crash.
