Yeah loading the procedurals have it's quirks, but I think it's the most straightforward way so you use directly the Yeti cache, because if you need to make a change, you have to cache yeti and then export the ass sequence again. Using the caches you just need to re cache Yeti and have all your shading and everything inside Softimage, you can also load yeti rendereable attributes in the render tree using mtoa user attribute shaders.
