Summary

Create a fur object. Used rigged character mesh with animation. At the end of the stack, at the bottom insert an Animation Cach Object, create a file path on disk, select this folder and give a file name in form of Animation_####_.abc and hit record.

For testing purposes, in my lastest example I've also limited the output range to 10 frames. The final project has a length of 2000 frames.

As workaround I also tried the file>ornatrix alembic exporter, that way I was able to export the frames, but loading these back in via the Animation Cach Object gives me a mirrored output in -Z direction and no way of mirroring my original mesh, or the cached hair.

I need to render the hair and underlying mesh at the same time.

Any advice?
