Hi

I'm trying to export an ornatrix alembic file with animation, but I only get one frame saved. Hair is generated from mesh strips. Any ideas why this happens?

Hi,

Ornatrix hair animation needs to be loaded using the Animation Cache modifier:

  1. Export the hair as Ornatrix Alembic, make sure to specify the range of animated frames,
  2. Import the hair back as Ornatrix Alembic. It will create a new BakedHair object,
  3. Add Animation Cache modifier to the hair object just created and load the same file in it again.
