Hair from Guides modifier has no entry in the docs.

 

Can someone please explain what "Instanced Strands" does?

Looks like we missed a link, should be fixed now: https://ephere.com/plugins/autodesk/max/ornatrix/docs/5/Hair_from_Guides_Modifier.html

cool, now can you explain what instanced strands do - cos it doesn't do what it says in the docs ;P

If I turn it on all hairs disappear in viewport and render

I don't think they work as intended right now. The basic idea is to get the same guide (few vertices) to be instanced by many hairs. This would save memory during generation of the dense hair structure when rendering. I plan to do some revamping of instancing soon though.
