I am saving out a combination of geo and particles. Geo started from frame 1 and particles start at frame 150 but when I cache out the alembic and import into 3dsmax or Blender The particles are there from from the first frame frozen. They start moving at the correct frame but they should die out by frame 200 and they just freeze. The particles have been meshed as fluid and cached. When I load this alembic back in Houdini it plays fine though.
How can I just make them appear on frame 150. I tried using a null in the stream till frame 149 but that didnt work. Also tried toggling save all non displayed geo.
