Wow! It works like a charm

I'm amazed at how you arrived at this solution. I think it's perfect for what I needed to do and solves the problem very easily.

Thank you so much

Hello,

Exactly as you mention, if I uncheck the Cloth, the animation works.

I've share here a basic c4d to show the problem> https://we.tl/t-4tRetEmieX

Object A works perfectly, Object B (which is the collapsed alembic) works while the Cloth is not active.
The problem is that we have multiple collapsed alembics in a production project, and they were working fine until this latest version(2024.3.2).

I would like to know if this is a problem with 2024 and I need to revert to 2023 temporarily, or if it's a technical issue .. if it works for you, I probably need to talk to support

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply,
Perhaps I didn't express myself well. The problem I'm encountering is collapsing an alembic, and once collapsed, using a cloth surface / subdivision surface on it.
The 'a' tag is correctly linked and even works if I turn off the subdivision / cloth. However, when I turn them on, the animation doesn't update.
The animation is still there but for some reason it doesn't update. Maybe it's a display problem, or is it just some bug?

Hello I recently experienced an issue where both the subdivision surface and cloth surface caused the Alembic to malfunction upon collapse.

Additionally, collapsing it resulted in the loss of the Phong tag.

Is there's any workaround or solution currently available for this issue ? btw Im working with c4d 2024.3.2

thanks
