Hair gen issue with guide deform reading cache 2025年10月9日14:09
Hi Mirko
Can you give some more information please? A hip file would be ideal, but otherwise the size and resolution of your skin mesh, the number of guides, the number of hairs, the Houdini version. I see that your skin mesh is quite low res in relation to the number of hairs on it, I'm curious if subdividing it might solve your issue? I haven't seen this issue before, but that is the main unusual thing that I can notice from your screenshots.

I also wanted to add that that FEM is no longer supported in Houdini. It’s a deprecated solver that will see no further enhancements and no bug fixing unless it’s a trivial effort for our developers. Otis is the superior solver.

In our internal tests, the Otis results were virtually indestinguishable from FEM, only much much faster. Save yourself the effort and go straight to the Otis solver in H21!
