Export tyCache to mesh/object
#1
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)?

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!
