You assume somebody besides me knows how to use ICE in this building. The only reason I'm able to write on this thread now is because I'm waiting for queries and builds to complete. That's about to end.

In less than the amount of time you've spent on this thread, you could have written a simple script to bake out ICE particle SRT's, which would not only help in this situation, but a million and one others. :-) Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 12, 2014, at 12:35 PM, Matt Lind <ml...@carbinestudios.com> wrote: > > We'd have to add support for ICE in our exporter and pipeline management > tools.
