Alembic as proxy format will be a great feature !
It will support displacement ?

This is a very very good news for vfx houses ! Direct rendering of Alembic file format will be a very a great feature!
I am not sure that there is any voxel support with alembic, dont you need this ?
Anyway if you can find a way to render zillons of polys with alembic instead of proxies, it will be a big news... + displace this will be great !

No, there isn't. Strictly speaking we don't need this - we'll just use whatever we have. Of course, it won't be the same as .vrmesh files, but it is what it is...
