I found a little disfunction when using the stCreateStrandset of compounds. Sometimes, if you're creating strands a bit differently than the usual way (EmitFromGeometry + CreateStrand) it can happen that the generated polymesh contains 0 (zero) polygon. (It happen to me when emitting from curve

OK so we are exporting out of 2014 SP2 our crowdFX stuff using FBX with nulls. Problem - our scenes are all PAL so 25fps settings. The FBX seems to default to 30 fps so when we import the FBX file it sets our scene to 30 - and there seems to be no way to stop that or avoid it! So - how do we

there is no way to do this directly with geometry directly, as far as I'm aware. what you can do though, is switch randomly through what you're expecting to use the geometry for. Like if you are getting the position of those geos, you could switch that instead of the geo itself. but you already hav
