Fix Yeti error to write cache folder: fur the directory doesn't exist!

Some little fix error to write cache temp folder when you try render scenes with Yeti and you get error like this:
ERROR Error writing untitled_pgYetiMaya1Shape_4046108918111904799_1.fur the directory doesn't exist! # 

To fix that error you need write in your Render Settings in Render Option scroll in line Pre Render MEL this:

Yeti and UDIM

Important <UDIM> like Mari UDIMs (.1001., 1002, )

File- path to texture with .<UDIM>. for example C:\Temp\TXT.<UDIM>.tif ; U coordinate no changed- $s , V coordinate need changed to: 

floor($t) + 1 - ($t - floor($t))

see in pic.

If V coordinate leave unchanged (1-$t), there will be an unexpected result over 1001 UDIM.

Convert curves (guide set) to Yeti Groom

If you need convert curves to Yeti Groom, you must create from curves maya Set and know shape name of object the guides are to be growing from. Then type MEL command:

pgYetiConvertGuideSetToGroom( "set1", "pPlaneShape1", "0.2" )

where: set1 - your set name, pPlaneShape1- shape name your object the guides are to be growing from,  0.2-  step size (less value - strands will be more detailed).
