Geometry attributes in shaders, support for packed Alembics

[glacierise]

Hi,

Packed Alembics seem not supported for geometry attributes in shaders, it would be great if this gets in. Otherwise, only on unpacked geometry, it's a very limited use case.

Thanks

We support arbitrary data channels in Alembic files.
You could use "ply2vrmesh -info" to check which attributes got recognized by V-Ray.
Which particular geometry attributes are you talking about? Strings?

Yes, a string that i used as part of the filename like it says in the docs, works but only on unpacked geometry
