Sagan Alembic Exporter, animation and dforce Hair export

jerjer

Hello guys,

I have 2 questions regarding the Sagan Alembic Exporter script.

1. On the Export dialogue there is a Hair tab (see attached pic). I do not understand what is the purpose of this tab, I have done some testing to try to create a scalp for my figure but when I import in C4D the scalp object is exploded and messed up. Maybe I misunderstood this feature?
   My goal was to export a scalp (or hair cap) object so that when I export my alembic animation I can grow hairs on it.
    
2. If I do not use the Hair tab and just export a default Alembic animation, my figures that have a dForce hair do not import with the hairs in C4D. Even if I set the Alembic to import curves as Splines. Is there a way to make it work? Because there are some nice dForce hairs that I'd love to use with animation outside of Daz.

Thanks for your time! :)

Moved to Technical Help as it is a question about a script, not about writing scripts. Closed in favour of the developer's own thread.
