Would perhaps a clone (with ICE or
  Operator) of the resulting mesh be more easily baked?

Topolizer, but it's not free and I'm not sure it handles parenting (if you

Exporting cached ICE particle instances as alembic?

[Morten Bartholdy]

I have a cached particles simulation with instanced geometry on it which I would
like to export as geometry as an alembic file for import in Houdini so we can do
some simulation there.

It looks like there is no factory method for creating geometry form instances,
so I checked Guillaume Laforges Create Polymesh from Instance Shapes compound.
Unfortunately it requires some source geometry data set via ICE and I am kind of
in a hurry so I have no time to figure out what is required, so I was wondering
if anybody know of a way to do this quick and dirty and create geometry from
instances without any attributes.
