Rendering a sequence on different machines causes inconsistent hair renders when dynamics applied on hair

Article needs peer review

Symptom

Hair is created and modified on geometry. Dynamics are applied to the hair .The geometry is been animated.

While rendering different parts of the sequence on separate machines, one notices  a difference in the hair rendered across the various machines.



Cause This is due to bug#:96367-hair renders not consistent.

Solution

Freeze the Hair operator befor applying dynamics. Select the hair operator and from the 'main control panel', freeze the operator. Then re-apply dynamics. The hair renders should now be consistent across all machines.



Applies To: XSI 3.5.x on NT,Win2K
