Changes:
1. The Alembic export functionality has been extended. It now supports the export of animation. Additionally, motion blur samples can also be exported.
2. Added scripts to modify Nurbopus:
Connect: Adds a NURBS curve to the selected Nurbopus.
Detach: Duplicates the Nurbopus node of the selected surfaces and connects the duplicated Nurbopus to those surfaces, allowing them to be edited independently.
I’d like to briefly outline my plans for Ahoge.
Long-term goal:
Ahoge aims to become a fully featured solution for creating digital hair.
Short-term goals:
1. Develop a braid generator node.
2. Explore implementing a "baked" GPU version of Ahoge, enabling real-time animation.
This "GPU Ahoge" would allow individual hair strands to be edited and include Boolean tools, among others. That said, I’m not entirely convinced this GPU approach is the best direction, so it’s still under consideration.
The braid generator is really needed so thanks!
Why when I click on downlo
thinking_facead link, the 403 forbidden page will pop up?
OK, I can download it. Thank you for your effort<3
Great plugin! I want to ask why everytime I try to export the abc,Maya will crash,I use the 2024 version,can't see the log,the Maya crash window show up and shut Maya down.
nick, the plugin is compiled against 2024.2, so I don't know what is going on. 
nick, spread it eveywhere. This is fire.
Жалко, что не для Blender.
Ольга Блинова, в Блендере вроде можно геометрическими нодами делать волосы
Ahoge, да, и много других, иногда они работают, а иногда нет.
Dose it work for 2022 ?
Paras Sharma, no. Can't compile against Maya's 2022's MtoA and earlier without rewriting the plugin. 
Hello, thank you for developing such a great plugin. The efficiency of making hair has been greatly improved. I currently have a problem. When I import the hair I made into UE, I can't group the hair. For example, I made a bobbed fringe bun hairstyle. I want to separate the fringe and the bun into different groups. I want to enable the physical effect of the fringe separately in Unreal Engine. Can this function be updated in the future version of the plugin?
杨倩婷, we will add groups for Unreal in the next release.
