I have a polymesh with an animated extrude (like roots growing) , I have a
displacement on the polymesh. The mesh renders fine on the last frame of the
animation, but all the other frames it crashes...when displaced parametrically
i get.."triangulation failed for polygon...####" then it locks up....when set
to fine diaplacement i get box displacement removed 0-triangle and it locks up

what am i doing wrong?

please help

Mike
