Problem

Description:

I tested release version of OX6 and was able to crash to desktop with no CER. I'm uploading a video to this report.

Steps to Reproduce:

These are the steps I did to cause a crash twice:

 

  1. Add OX Furball
  2. Add a Edit Poly to base object
  3. Selected Polygon Sub-object mode and select some faces
  4. Add Curling above OX Edit Guides
  5. Add Gravity above Curling
  6. Select Ox Change Width modifier and change width spinner

Hello Shawn,

I followed your steps but I cannot reproduce this issue. Are you using a plugin to load the distribution mesh as alembic? May be related. Can you try to reproduce this in a sphere?

It seems to happen only on a specific geometry class (a geometry plugin that I develop). The only thing I can think of that might be different to regular objects is that it is a scripted geometry class with explicit normals. I tested converting to editable poly and the error goes away.

Shawn, any way to give us the custom plugin for testing with some tests? Not really sure what we can do otherwise.

Yes, I can do that. I'll get you the needed files this week. It will require you to have a machine with at least one Source Engine game installed (such as Half-Life 2, Black Mesa, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, etc). The plugin reads the game engine's native model format to load directly into Max--and it is this plugin that I discovered the issue. Note I'd not likely use these geometry types in a real life situations--I just happened to test OX6 in my default scene which has one of these nodes by default. But I think it would be good to know how/why this is happening.
