Animated Render Curve Supported?

Can't seem to figure out if animated render curves (e.g.
https://vimeo.com/92239004) are supported in Octane. Octane seems to render the curve just fine, but doesn't appear to render animation when the curve start/end are keyed.
The back up question to this, if it isn't supported: Is it possible to bake animated render curves?

Sorry for the delay responding to your message - I missed it!
Can you pls send me a sample scene with animated curves, and I will have a look at what the problem is.

Hey Paul - file is attached! (The curve was imported from an Illustrator file and I'm on Modo 902 S3)

The conversion of Modo curves to Octane hair strands is as follows:
1) The Modo Render Curve property needs to be enabled
2) The Modo Curve Radius property is used to set the Octane hair strand radius
3) The Modo Curve Radius Gradient start and end values are then used to adjust the Octane hair strand radii
The Curve Start and End properties are not used. In Modo these shorten the length of curve, however this is not supported in the plugin - sorry.
