sorry for the confusion. by "strands" and "not using ice" I mean using soft built-in Hair system. On the rendertree, Scalar State set to Barycentric B outputs a normalized length, which I don't want.

+1000 to what Vladimir said. Cached locations always loose contexts and does not resolve correctly, giving you red nodes all over the icetree. On the other hand, from my experience reinterpreting locations also crashes frequently. So, keep incremental backups! =) 2013/6/26 Gustavo Eggert Boehs
