Hi.
I have a scene with some geo instanced and cycled through by using a customIdPP. the particles cache well, but after caching the instancer doesn't work anymore. all custom attributes show NO_VAL if set to numeric, except for standard things like position etc. this means the instancer only uses objectId 0...

does anyone know why this happens? I used nparticles with the instancer.

thank you!

Particle expressions are not run on cached particle objects, the nParticle caching by default only caches position and velocity by default. You can change this option on the nParticle node, if you have already done this then I am not sure what is causing your problem.
