Please play the file and compare Perspective window with Live Viewer.

Hi, aoktor!

Thank you.

I know PC version has less error than Mac version.
I had tested my scene file on PC.
But, I checked one error on PC but also Mac.

Some cloner instance is crashed. (that has complex hierarchy)
The position of sub object of cloner instance change. (symmetric reverse)

I'm curious, with Hair now supported, is there a way to render splines directly as hair, _without_ going through the Hair object first? The reason being that the Hair object causes a lot of overhead in Cinema, and I'm trying to import fully simulated hair as splines from another app.

Ok, adding the Hair Render tag to a spline causes Octane (and Cinema) to crash immediately at render time.

- paint a spline
- add Hair Tags > Render
- set Octane as renderer and move Hair above Octane
- render
> Crash

this is possible with some revisions. I'm suspicious about this is how usefull. Hair guides and splines are very similar technically.

Very useful for xparticles trail object which can use hair shader to render.

This is very useful and a crucial part of my workflow for certain type of animations.
It is one of those small things that is GREAT about c4d's hair. I would really really encourage to get this implemented.
