I have a hair sim setup using the Guide Deform with external curves. It looks great in the viewport. I am trying to cache out the curves from the guide deform, but they come in as bunches of curves by the character's feet when I import the alembic of the guide deformed curves. The simmed curves come in correctly.
It seems there is a problem with guide deform, where if you export the output of that node to an alembic and reimport, you will see that the curves have exploded all over. Has anyone else seen this?
