Why we like it

A holdover from Blender's bundled add-ons, Export Pointcache Format(.pc2) earns its place for a single, focused task: getting mesh point cache out to .pc2. It's offered as-is with limited support, so treat it as a lightweight utility rather than an actively developed tool.

What is Export Pointcache Format(.pc2)?

Export Pointcache Format(.pc2) is a Blender add-on for writing mesh point cache data to the .pc2 format. Once installed, it adds an entry under File → Export → Pointcache (.pc2), where you can export the cache to a file on disk. To do this, the add-on requests access to the directory it writes into.

The extension was part of Blender's bundled add-ons through version 4.1 and is now distributed separately, offered as-is with limited support. It was originally written by Florian Meyer (tstscr) and is currently listed under the Community banner. Version 1.1.4 was published in May 2024 with no changelog notes for the release.

It's compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. You can add it by dragging and dropping the extension into Blender or installing it from disk. For version history and further details, see the developer's page.
