Hello,

I wanted to know if my workflow is correct because I didn't find it anywhere.

When I finished the Hair and Animated a sequence (with Oscillator or other Physics): 1) export alembic file and 2) rec animation with Animation Cache.

Then reimport Alembic file, assign at animation cache the animation that I have rec.

So with batch render, I shouldn't have problems.

It's right? If not can you suggest the correct workflow? Please don't link the video tutorial because they are old and some features are different.

Hello,

The workflow looks correct, however it seems like you forgot to describe the actual issue or how you lost your render. Please clarify.

Hello,

The issue, that unfortunately have discovered after, is that if I don't use an animation cache but go in the batch render, if that render crash and restart, the position of the oscillator will be reset... so at the end in 250 frames have an unnatural and halting physics because my Batch crashed a lot of times.

Really, if exist an article that explains every single step of the workflow for render with Maya Arnold, please it links to me.

WE first have to reproduce and fix that crash. Can you provide the scene for testing?
