Particle System Influence procedural textures [e.g. on hair length] dont update in realtime immediately [depsgraph relation will work only after certain updates]
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 456.38

Broken: version: 2.91.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2020-10-18 20:27, hash: rB48c484a22e0d
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • create hair particle system
  • create texture for hair length parameter and try to manipulate with size, contrast, intensity or other
  • parameters not update until I check on/off hair length checkbox. try to change any parameter and on/off for apply.

  • create a keyframe on hair length (now changing clouds Size slider will update in realtime)
  • remove the keyframe: relation still works (clouds Size slider will update in realtime)

  • save the file
  • reload the file --> relation is intact (clouds Size slider will update in realtime)

Since this is only an issue if the file is not saved, an example file is not really showing the issue, here it is anyways

Think I got a fix [adding the texture should rebuild DEG relations immediately]
