Hello,
I'm using v2.3.920057 on Maya 2018.5.
When I create hair from meshstrips and assign Groups per strip using the Mesh Strip Editing Tool everything works fine on nodes higher up in the stack. However if I close the scene and open it again the assigned Strand Group connections are lost. If I look in the Mesh Strip Editing Tool all of the assigned groups are correct but it's not being read by frizz, curl nodes etc. It seems each mesh strip is assigned a unique group number (not the group numbers assigned on the Hair From Mesh Strips node).
Is this a bug? Perhaps I might be doing something wrong. Thanks in advance...
