Render-fatal errors with Hair & Fur modifier in Max Design 2013

Howdy,

I’m getting some odd error messages when trying to test render a scene that I have added a Hair & Fur modifier to. It halts the renderer with an “Unhandled Exception” error, shown in the linked images. When I disable the hair and fur effect, it delivers another error “An exeption occured when exporting DRA” but completes the render with the hair effect displaced from its generation object to the centre of the scene. VRay Fur works fine but I’d like to be able to style my grasses.

Failed Render with Effect Active
Completed Render with Effect Inactive and Displaced Hair

I am setting the effect to “mr prim” as evidenced in the screenshots. I am using Max Design 2013 with Commercial Update 6 with the latest V-Ray 3.20.01. There is a ForestPackPro 4.37 Forest object in the scene and I am using XFrog tree models. I also have RailClone Pro 2.34 installed but no associated objects are in the offending scene.

Any thoughts on this, Chaos Group?

Thanks kindly,

Riley

It would be best if you can get us a scene to support@chaosgroup.com so that we can take a look.
