Sorry for the spam. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utLAEt_NmjU
At Tyflow 1, I have set up a birth -> shape (point cached model) with animated geometry enabled. This renders and animates. https://i.imgur.com/Bb2JVnw.png
At Tyflow 2, I have set up a Birth objects with Tyflow 1 as birth -> Cloth bind -> Particle switch -> Object bind (binding to Tyflow 1). This doesn't render or animate. https://i.imgur.com/X2VYX2p.png
When I select Tyflow 1 as Tyflow 2's birth object, it doesn't display in viewport nor render... I'm using Shape instead of Actor because without Shape, the 1st one doesn't seem to render...
I'm at loss as to what to do.... really all I need is an animated character to crumble into dust in the end of its animation. I want it to animate while it's fracturing.
Hmm... it seems Arnold also doesn't render Cloth Bind... when I do a surface test using a box near the character, and send that test into a Cloth Bind "convert to shape", it then renders that part of the character, in this case the head as it's within the distance to the nearby box.

Apparently.... this is also an Arnold bug. https://forum.tyflow.com/printthread.php?tid=2011
Yesss, it now renders after exporting particles and creating tycache object. Just what I needed. Using Simulation Lab's guide, I'm also able to simulate using the rigged CAT model, as the 2nd Tyflow object does something so that only the mesh is copied over. That means I don't need to record point cache. Only need to export to tycache when I need to render now.
Maybe it could be suggested on https://docs.tyflow.com/faq/rendering/ ?
