Convert Point Cache to Vertex Animation

This script is very useful in situations where the animation of the 9 th of 3dsMax and higher versions will need to open in the 6 th – 8 th 3ds max.

The problem is that since 9 th version of 3ds Max, the format of the data cache has changed (Autodesk Point Cache 2 – pc2), and compatibility with previous versions disappeared.

Help comes caching mesh surface. The essence of the script is to convert a cache of animation into the vertex animation of the Edit Mesh modifier. Then to save this vertex animation in a separate file, and then in the Max version lower load into the same mesh as the vertex animation. 
Short description 

Src – source object (with assigned Point Cache modifier)

Dst – receiver object (mesh which must be the same, ie, duplicate) 

start, end – time range of the operation

Convert – doing convert operation 

To do the transfer a temporary file “c: \ vertexAnim.pts”  is used.

Hold – keeps vertex animation into a temporary file 

Fetch – restores animation from a file for the selected object
