MAYA 2019.2 AND XGEN ISSUE IN BATCH RENDER

[Anonymous]

I have recently updated to maya 2019.2 and everything was working great but i run into an issue while using xgen

i have a scene which was fine in earlier version of maya but now when i use it in maya 2019 my groom renders fine in the arnold render view and in scene file also i checked the hair is following the geometry properly but when i do a batch render locally or on a render farm the hair is fine in 1st frame but as the animation progresses the hair seems to leave the mesh.

i have maya 2019.2 with arnold 3.3.0

windows 10

and i have tried the following steps.

    exported the groom and imported it into a new clean file

    i exported the patches from maya 2016 and replaced it (as it was rendering fine in maya 2016)

    exported curves and did a new groom in maya 2019

    changing fps of the scene as mentioned in this post (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-forum/maya-2019-xgen-trouble-at-render-time/td-p/8769538)  

and this issue can be reproduced easily

     i tried everything i can think of please let me know if i am missing something 

    please help me out if anyone  faced this.

  i have attached an image for you to see 

     thanks in advance !!

Regards

Harsh

Yes and no. , Had a long conversation with autodesk and they said it will be fixed in next version that is 2020, so I rolled back to 2018 

Althoug 2018 has some issues in render setup but still quiet stable , I hope this helps
