I was so excited to dive into learning Ornatrix and can't get by the first step! I've simply added the furball hair to a sphere, but it does not show up on the actual sphere (making it editable is the same). Any ideas as to why? Many thanks!

The hairs will also show up in the render view, but just not seeing the actual hair guides.

Hi,

The first step is to make sure your system meets the minimum requirements to run Ornatrix. Find the minimum requirements here

Thanks for the reply! My system does meet the minimum requirements. I also tested by downloading a trial of c4d R24 and the R24 ornatrix demo and the guides showed up! So I'm not sure if it's a bug of some sort for R21?

You don't get this problem with Ornatrix demo on R24? This only happens on R21? What exact version of R21 do you have?

I tried R21.207, with Ornatrix demo. It seems to work fine here. I can see the hair:

Hmmmm I wonder what it is that I can't see them in the R21 version. And yes that's correct - I can see the guides in R24, but not R21. I'm using R21.207.

What GPU and Graphics Drivers are you using? It could be related to that.

I'm using a geforce rtx 2080ti and NVIDIA studio driver. I updated the driver yesterday to version 471.68 thinking that might have been the cause, but no luck!

Can you try the game drivers? Just for testing. You can go back to studio drivers after that.

Will try that out and get back to you! Just started up a render, but as soo as it's done I'll give that a go!

Ok took a few days, but finally tried the game driver and had the same result. Still can't see the guides unfortunately!

Hi again, sorry for the delay.

I'm still unable to reproduce this issue. I tried on Windows and Mac. I will ask someone else in the team to try and get back to you.
