Xref Scene will not render if Hair and Fur is present in main scene

[sylk]

Hello,

lets say you have a sphere in your scene and add a Hair and Fur modifier to it. Then you bring in a couple of boxes via xref scene.

The boxes will not render. Old bug but still present. Disable the H&F-modifier on the sphere and the boxes will render again.

The boxes renders fine with Arnold even when H&F-modifier is enabled, but not with Scanline or V-Ray.

Max 2024.2, V-Ray 6.20.06

Thanks for the report. The issue you were referring to (internal bug-tracker id: VMAX-1355) concerned the Hair and Fur modifier within the xRef. I've logged this as a separate one (internal bug-tracker id: VMAX-14689). I suggest using V-Ray Fur instead.

The devs just told me that since it doesn't work in Scanline it is surely an Autodesk thing. I noticed the issue is not present when using an xRef object instead. Maybe this can serve as a workaround.
