Title:Bug on Add Hair from Mesh Strip
Category:Crash/Critical
Status:Unconfirmed

Problem

Description:

Whenever I'm tweaking the volume ramp curves or the slider value for volume intensity and/or the view percentage slider, Maya crashes. I went back to Orntarix 2.1.5.15748 where none of those issues happens.

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a mesh strip and make it a nCloth. Create a nConstraint point to surface (In this case, mesh strip and the scalp geo). Select the mesh strip and create Add Hair from Mesh strips. Change the hair per strip slider to a high value like 500 or 1000 and start either playing with view percentage or volume ramp. Also, on volume intensity tab, the value was 2.5 for me. Attache is the file that has the 1st steps for the simulation already done. All is needed is to add the hair into the strip.  Thanks!

I cannot reproduce this on the latest build (See the image below). Can you update to build 20711 and try again?

Hi Jeordanis. Thank you for the reply! Build 20711 doesnt show on the download list yet. The issue I was having was on build 20614 which shows as the latest stable. The most recent that appears in the list is the 20719 for Mac Only.

I new nightly build for Windows will be available soon. Give it a try when it appears in the download page.

Will do, Thanks!

Hi Jeordanis. I've tried using the latest built but still crashes. The latest one I've downloaded is 2-4-4-20883. I can play with the volume curves alright but the moment I start playing with the other sliders for point count or number of hairs, it crashes. The issue persists in the 3 latest builts. The one that I use 2-1-5-15748 is the latest stable where none of these crashes happens and I can play with any sliders as much as I need. The issue is that in this version I cannot select the arrows on the mesh strip editing tool. The version of Maya I'm using is 2016.

Thank you
