Description:	I've been trying to edit the normals on my proxy mesh, to be able to bake anisotropic directional maps based off the normals on the proxy mesh, but the edited normals do not seem to transfer correctly to the ornatrix geometry.

EPHERE	Hello, I have just tried it in a local scene and the normals are transferring properly from all proxy objects used in Mesh From Strands modifier. Could you please provide the steps to reproduce or a simple sample scene which shows the issue? Also, please let me know which version of Ornatrix you are using.

subtilicus	I will post a scene once we get our license server up and running : ) , did you add an edit normals modifier to your proxy mesh and bend some of the normals?. When i use such a proxy mesh with edited normals 3dsmax simply locks up the moment i assign it as proxy mesh. We used the most recent build of ornatrix for 3dsmax2014, i only tested with the trial version as I am waiting for IT to setup a license server.
