Allembic use attribute from Houdini

[Mikhalenko]

Hello,
I have a model that I exported from Houdini using Alembic, with an attribute assigned to points. I use VertexColor in 3ds Max to retrieve this attribute and apply it to the diffuse color. In V-Ray GPU (second screenshot), I can see this attribute displayed correctly. However, in Chaos Vantage, it is not displayed—it only uses the UV attribute (third screenshot).

Is this feature supported in Chaos Vantage?

I’ve also found that UV mapping from Alembic doesn’t work if it’s set under index 0 in the Alembic file. Additionally, during Live Link, even if the UV is under index 1, it doesn’t work until I convert the V-Ray Proxy (which I use for loading the Alembic) to a mesh. Only then does the UV mapping start to be recognized.

Sounds like a bug, can you send the alembic file and max scene to our support, so we can figure out what's wrong ?
Alternatively, you can also send them to my e-mail or attach them here.

Thanks again for the scene. I found and fixed several issues thanks to it. The fixes will be part of our next release, most likely in February.
