How to use Alembic with V-Ray in maya?

[rainingwaffles]

It's easy enough to use alembic in maya as geometry, but how do you access the V-Ray built-in support for Alembic? It's listed in the release notes for the 22430 stable build --

[feature request] Support for the Alembic file format for V-Ray proxy objects - resolved.

Does that mean an "abc" file can just be inserted into a VRayMesh? I tried that and it didn't seem to work and couldn't find any docs on spot3d. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

We have not yet enabled the Alembic code in the V-Ray proxies (although the UI is there). I hope we can do that in the next few days.

Best regards,
