I've a problem exporting an alembic sequence from a generated mesh created by RealFlow for Cinema 4D. (PC with R20 + RF 3)
Have done that in the past - worked well. But C4D, RF-Versions and hardware changed since then.
Mesh-Data is cached. I mark the Mesher in the RF-Tree an choose Export Alembic (.abc) under File.
After choosing path and file-name I check "Only Selection" and "Merge generated".
The exported file is 4kb large and contains obviously nothing.
Tried the "Bake in Alembic" command with right click on the mesher - nothing happens at all.
Tried the same on another machine - (Mac with R19 and RF 1) just by connecting the mesher with the cached alembic files.
Simulation gets played correctly in the viewport, but exporting / importing results just in the actual frame.
Bake Alembic in R19 not available.
Weird ... does anybody have a clue what's wrong? Wrong handling or software-bug?
Could use the RF-Plugin in the final Project for animation an rendering - but awkward handling with the cached files (because I've several sequences) and may run in problems with renderfarm or network-rendering.
