I got a group of Furballs set up on a model of a small cat. I was reasonably happy with the fur except for some minor tweaking. THen I turned off the Furballs in the Object Manager, rigged, bound, and painted weights onto the mesh. When I turned on the Furballs all the fur was gone. I have tried lots of things to try to get it back but nothing has worked. I even tried selecting Guides From Mesh and there are no longer any guides.

Is this behavior expected in that I missed some step before rigging?

Or is this behavior unexpected?

I'd like some help to get the furn back if I can or knowledge on how to avoid this next time.

Thanks, Greg
