Problem

Description:	I'm not 100% sure I'm using this correctly. When I add a new hair to a mesh from strands node it creates the hair stack and does what I would expect. BUT I tried to have the hair generated from the Mesh UV and it changed the base hair (mesh) location (where it is generated from)
Steps to Reproduce:	Create Furball Create Mesh from Hair Add a New Furball to that mesh Change the distribution type to UV (or anything other than default) It moves original position of hair

EPHERE	Just tried it here and it seems to work as intended. The positions of the hair strands will change if you change the distribution type. The UV distribution does generate the hairs on the original mesh, looks to be working properly. Perhaps I did not understand it correctly? Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.)

daveenedy	No it's me. I must have done something weird. I'll try to recreate it. Sorry!

daveenedy	Ok. This is not Exactly what I was talking about but its similar. Take a look at the uploaded file. Click MeshFromStrandsNode2 and change the mesh type to cylindrical. It is actually changing the other mesh strand to cylindrical. Attached Files: strand_weirdness.ma (96939 bytes),
