Vrayfur: no bending - no gravity effect...

[JeffG2]

I have a vrayfur problem with Vray 3.10.

I have a (low poly > turbosmoothed > edit poly) rock that I need to grow fun on.

Vray fur attached correctly, but the fur grows straight out (following the poly normal, I assume) and neither the bend parameter nor the gravity parameter have any effect on the fur whatsoever. Other properties, like taper, work correctly.

In the same scene, I can grow fur on a sphere with no problems. Bend and gravity behave as intended.

Any clues at to what is going wrong?

How many knots do you have for the fur? Do you have any texture maps for the bend/initial directions?

I ttried 8 and 16 knots - no difference in effect.

I have no texture maps at all.

Then no idea - it would be best to take a look at that file. Can you post just that object or send it to support@chaosgroup.com ?

I will send it to you in a few hours. Thanks for your help!!!

[JeffG2]

File sent.

Thanks, will try to figure out what's going on.

Thanks for helping me find a fix for this!!!

For any else that has the problem, I had to export the obj and re-import it. That solved the problem.

In that case it must have been normals somehow.
