Houdini Crowd Agents add another weird ball in the render

[thomaskc]

I'm having an odd issue with houdini crowds, where at render time Vray adds some odd balls in a row to the scene, no matter where the crowd is.

I realized this actually happens with just one agent too,

see attached please.

No idea whats going on there but it looks super silly.

So from digging a bit more all I can think of it that vray somehow reads and shows the hip null bone in the model. It makes no sense but it's only object that fits the location when looking at just 1 bird, but why it lines them up when there is more, and they don't follow the birds and it renders it while its not visible I don't know. This doesn't happen in octane btw, no balls.
