I can confirm the crash testing with your scene. We are looking into it.

The problem is that you are adding the Surface Comb operator on top of Mesh From Strands. The way Ornatrix hair stack works is passing hair data to the next operator on the stack. In this case you are converting the hair to mesh using Mesh From Strands, which does not pass hair data to Surface Comb, because the hair is mesh starting from that point. You have to either delete Mesh From Strands or add Surface Comb before it.

Oh i see, Thank you.

I confirm that's the cause, but it should never crash, of course.

Several improvements were made to avoid crashes and bad interaction on operators after MFS/CFS
- Block attributes interaction
- Do no draw specific operator gizmos
- Do not draw and allow to use handles
- If MFS is present and CFS is added, it will not compute. And vice-versa.
