Ornatrix 3dsmax: Distribution Map Not working for me

Hi all, Sorry this might be a basic question. I am trying to play around and learn about the distribution map, however when I apply it I get no hair at all. Am I doing anything incorrect? I have mapped the distribution map to a texture to show what I'm trying to do. Its just a test on a plane. See image attached Thanks! Attached Files: Distr.JPG (129657 bytes),

Jeordanis Figuereo	Hello Shan, I just tried here and it seems to be working fine, as you can see in the image below. However, I don't recommend using a distribution map in GuidesFromSurface, any settle change made to the texture will mess up your hair because the hair distribution will change drastically. Remember: Guide Distribution and Hair Distribution are different things. The Hair Distribution in HairFromGuides is made using the guides, Guides Distribution is made using the surface/distribution mesh, in other words, is based on topology. Please have this in mind when using a distribution map in GuidesFromSurface. If you still need to use a texture map there, remember to turn ON Remember Roots Positions in GuidesFromSurface to avoid potencial problems. Anyways, can I have your test scene? I would like to take a look into it to see if there is a bug. Save it for Max 2017 please. Attached Files: Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord
