Children particles do not display in viewport - Blender 5.0.1 Issue

Hey CG Cookie Community,

I hope that you’re doing well in life. This topic is not a question but rather a kind measure. I would like to inform you of a bug I recently detected within the hair particle system when using Blender 5.0.0 or 5.0.1.

Children particles do not display in the viewport when clicking the “Children” checkbox, thus making it rather difficult to groom your character’s hair.

This does work, however, in Blender 4.5.5 LTS.

Blender 4.5.5 LTS

Blender 5.0.1

After doing some online research, I discovered that I wasn’t completely going mad and that several users were experiencing the same issue.

I’m using Blender 4.5.5 LTS until the Development Team has addressed the problem, which I am most certain they will attend to.

Take care of yourselves, guys, and have a great week ahead.

Kind Regards,

Bennie
