Groups as shape not working properly - TubeSmokeGuy - 12-20-2021
Hi!
My particles are not displayed in viewport or rendering as geometry shapes when I use groups as shapes.
I tested the following:
Geometry only groups are working.
Geometry and Helper Groups are working too (Helpers are not visible as expected, thats good).
Geometry and a spline with the spline set to renderable is not working, the geometry is visible but the spline not.
In my real case I have a group with many objects of different classes (poly, trimesh, helpers, lights, splines, maybe others). I can pick the group as shape but tyFlow only displays this cross helper, like when the shape is missing.
Unfortunately I cannot submit the file because it contains confidential customer data.
Just wanted to let you know.
Thank you and greetings.

Splines set to renderable are a bit of a weird thing in max. They have a mesh of course, but internal "are you a spline" tests still return true. So it's hard for tyFlow to determine what the user wants. Putting an edit mesh on top is a way to ensure tyFlow treats it as a mesh.
