Hair & Stencil Layers

When rendering my scene stencil layers seem to work great, except for the groom layer.

It seems to be a bug as the hair sometimes renders but its glitching in and out or displaced, or sometimes simply not rendering at all.

Am I missing a setting somewhere? Should I bind the groom in a different way to get it to work? Currently using a alembic groom asset binded to an alembic geo cache.

Really need the hair as a stecil layer for compositing in Nuke :frowning:

Any help would be greatly appricated!

Is this the bug you’re talking about?

No this wasnt it but thankfull with the release of 5.3 they seemed to fix it. Maybe it was related.
