frodo	Thanks for reply, but I'm not sure if this is what I'm asking. I try to explain it futher step by step. 1) do some character in Max and start working on hair lookdev on Tpose 2) export character model to Maya for animators 3) import animated character back to Max as Alembic cache 4) transfer finished hair to Alembic character and simulate the dynamics 5) after then bake the hair to Alembic and render it... this step is OK and its what you answer is about and I understand it Thanks a lot

Jeordanis Figuereo	Do you need help with steps 3 and 4? After importing the animated character into 3DS Max you can use a Ground Strand modifier to attach the hair to the scalp of the character. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord

Jeordanis Figuereo	Another thing you can do is: Save your groom preset, import your animated character with the new scalp and load the groom preset in the imported scalp. I'm asuming you made the hair in a different mesh. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord
