frost radius channel

[super gnu]

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.
