Mash (bend deformer doesn't work after creating mash network)

Hi,

I am having an issue regarding the mash network. After creating my object and using the bend deformed to animate it and then selecting the object and creating the mash network the animation stops working under Mash1_repromesh but works as Mash1_instancer. Does anyone know why this is happening?

It works for me. Don't delete the history or the bend deformer.

1. create mesh and add bend deformer.

2. add animation to the deformer by keying attribute on the deformer

3. select mesh and add a mash network (instance or mesh)

This should keep the animation from the original mesh

Also on a side note mash works with Alembic.
