Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted July 25, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 http://exocortex.com/alembic The Exocortex Crate product suite is a set of professional grade, consistent and commercially supported Alembic plug-ins and tools that enable VFX studios and independent VFX professionals to standardize their tool chains around the Alembic file format as the core data interchange and automation format. https://groups.googl...ion/4Tg2f0eElOc http://www.scriptspo...cripts/j3d-moya A Consistent and Expansive Feature Set. Our Alembic suite is not a proof of concept, rather it is designed to be one of the foundations of your content creation pipeline. As such, our plugins load and save all the major scene elements that you would expect. We support meshes across all platforms, including those with static, deformable, and changing topology. We support particle systems across all platforms, including both simple systems and those with instancing. We also support curves across all platforms. With Exocortex Crate you won’t find your data stuck in a particular DCC because of a partial Alembic implementation. http://youtu.be/I__MeR8jsFk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
