Export tyCache to mesh/object - BlindSp0t - 06-16-2023
Hi,
Newbie here.
Is it possible to export the particles of a certain frame out of a tyCache file to an object/mesh (or better, directly to an Alembic file)?
RE: Export tyCache to mesh/object - tyFlow - 06-16-2023
Why not just export straight to objects/Alembic from the flow itself using Export Particles? Skip tyCaching first entirely?
If there's another reason you need to export a frame from a tyCache, just load it into a flow using Birth Flow (setting the offset to match the frame you want) and then export to objects/Alembic using Export Particles.

Thx heaps!
I exported a mesh from a single frame after simulating (which I also cached for quick comparison work) for usage in another scene, using the ExportParticles operator and closed the simulation scene.
Later on I needed the mesh from another frame and was hoping I could pull it out of the cache, instead of simulating again till the needed frame to use ExportParticles.
TIL I can use BirthFlow to 'load up' my cache and get it done a bit faster ;-)
Thx again!
