...Reload the scene to continue (HairGuides).

I continuously get this message whilst rendering a scene that has animated (via ClothFX *.mdd file) hair guides and FiberFX applied. The funny thing is, it seems to render the scene correctly anyway. Does the message mean something really has gone wrong, or is it just in error?

Can you please post a screen grab with the error message? ... I think that I have seen it before, but now I don't remember how to reproduce it. Anyway I think that this is Layout message, not a plugin issue.

As I say, it's rendering correctly.

Thanks, yes, this is a warning from the Octane plugin. It is weird issue, because it means that the deformations of the object mesh can't be updated without reload the scene for each frame because the object doesn't have the same number of vertices in all the frame, or the vertices are not valid for Octane, perhaps because they are hair guides or curves.

If you can't see problems in the rendering you can continue working without problems, but if you want to send to me a scene with this object and the .mdd file to test it here perhaps I could find the problem. If you render your scene in full reload mode you should not see the warning.
