Sorry if this was covered; didn't see anything in a search.

I'm a little rusty on my Carrara but I can't seem to get an anything Goos shader to be my length shader with Anything Grows Are there any known problems with this? Or anyone have success with this yet?

Other shaders work fine as a length shader but when I add my A-Goos shader, I get no change from no shader at all. Tried it on a primitive cube, a cube with lots of facets, more complex shapes. Plus with and without the 'anything grows' safe mode checkbox.

C4 is versions 4.1.1 and I updated Anything Grows and Anything Goos recently.

With 4.0 C4, I got no hairs with a Goos shader. With 4.1.1, I get hairs but the shader seems to have no effect (same as 'clear').

Any thoughts? As I mentioned, I'm a bit rusty. Coming back to Carrara after a long break. Maybe I'm overlooking something.

Thanks!
Marc

Marc,

I'm sorry, that's my goof. Grows requires a patch to play nicely with Goos. I built it during Goos beta and had the beta guys test it, then completely forgot about posting it. I'll get that out later today after I do a quick check out and add the C3 version of Grows to the patch too. I'll put up another reply back here when it's available.

Thanks,

Thanks for the fabulously quick reply! Given that you had the anything grows safe mode, I knew it had to have been tested together. Figured it was something I was doing. Thanks, Marc
