When using Movie Render Queue, my hair groom is either distorted like in the image, or non-existent (when rendered on a stencil layer). It works perfectly in the legacy sequencer render, but I would ideally prefer to render with movie render queue for the increased samples. Is there anything I can do to try and troubleshoot this?
Try unchecking RBF, in the grooms file.
Hmm, it was unchecked, tried a render with it checked just to see but got the same result
try turning off all physics, if it has any.
