Blender 2.80 Alembic exporter does not export simulation as an animated mesh #461

Closed rlguy closed 5 years ago

rlguy commented 5 years ago

When exporting to Alembic, the Blender Alembic exporter checks if there are any modifiers on the object to determine if the object is animated.

To export a fluid simulation as an Alembic cache, you will need to use a workaround of adding a modifier to the _fluid_surface, whitewater_foam, whitewater_bubble, and whitewater_spray_ objects so that they are exported as an animated mesh. For example, a smooth modifier with 0 repeats can be used.

This works in Blender 2.79, but it seems that this has stopped working in Blender 2.80. I have filed a bug report on the Blender tracker for this issue here: https://developer.blender.org/T65816

Accidentally added this twice. Refer to #460.
