  • Material IDs in almbic file

    Houdini geo (mixed geo and packed geo) with prim groups _00, _01, etc. -> exported to alembic -> imported to max as vray proxy

    Packed geos have wrong material id's in max.

    When I import alembic through regular max importer everything is ok.

      The handles and the rear boxes should have different material IDs. In your screenshot they have the same ID. Its wrong.

          Left, First max import.
          Middle, V-Ray proxy import
          Right, Second max import.

          If i inspect the mesh with the max importer, i see the exact same structure as i see when i do so with the proxy, and *four* IDs, from 0 to 3.
          Something isn't quite right in how that cache works with Max (leftmost has 5 ids, and is taking the fifth material from nowhere at all.), and as a corollary with us.
