frost radius channel - super gnu - 04-29-2019
if i try to mesh my particle system and select "use particle radius" in frost, i often get a "partial radius channel" or "no radius channel present" error in frost. strangely doesnt seem to always happen.
the tyflow cache does not seem to have radius, only scale.
if i export to prt, and choose to export radius, i can mesh it fine.
could this be fixed?

Due to the fragmentation of various interfaces throughout 3ds Max, "radius" is treated as different things for different interfaces/exporters, but generally it's either half the maximum dimension of a particle's shape mesh, or half the maximum dimension of a particle's scale value.
As long as the particle interface is enabled on your flow, you should be getting a radius channel. Let me know if you find a situation where that's not the case.
