Whats New:

New: Added Respect Hair Parts option to Clump modifier

New: Added Mesh from Strands “Conform to surface” option

New: Added GUI for MoovPhysics Save/Load/Reset parameters

New: Added Overwrite option to Strand Animation modifier

New: Added an option to save Hair from Guides root data to an Alembic file

New: Clump modifiers options to work in UV space

New: Export/Import Strands Groups with Alembic files

New: Added a curve to multiplier to vary the amount of twisting along strand length

New: Collapsed guides and hair are assigned distribution mesh automatically, where possible

New: Guides from Mesh modifier and object use displacement map channel value

Fixed: Incorrect transform can be assigned when exporting Alembic files with an Up axis different from Z

Fixed: Clump modifier can produce incorrect results for flat patterns

Fixed: Edit Guides changes strand shape rotation when only moving roots on surface

Numerous internal changes

Fixed: Hair strands become transparent when using Edged Faces display mode

Fixed: Max crashes when cloning a hair object with a Moov modifier

Fixed: Alembic files are loaded automatically when collapsing a stack in BakedHair object

Fixed: Generate Guide Data modifier target channel index does not align with 3dsmax vertex color texture’s input index

Fixed: Moving root after shape changes can rotate the strand

Fixed: Assertion when running MassFX dynamics with a non-uniformly scaled base surface

Fixed: Copying Arnold modifier crashes 3dsmax

Fixed: Strand Multiplier modifier doesn’t set target group

Fixed: Strand groups are not imported from Alembic files

Fixed: Hair from Guides crash when selecting anything other than Vertex Distribution for Root Distriburion on top of a teapot

Fixed: MoovPhysics GUI is fully implemented only for Max 2018+

Fixed: Max crashes in scene with Moov and Detail

Fixed: Strand Groups not working with ChangeWidth modifier

Fixed: Reloading scene with Edit Guides on top of Baked Guides destroys shape changes

Fixed: Oscillator: Hair don’t move during animation
