Is there a way to load an alembic cache? Right now I am using a vray proxy, which is causing problems on the render farm (some slaves do not load the .abc sequence - still trying to figure that one out). It would be nice if I could replace the vray proxy with something else. Any thoughts?
I’m on 3dsmax 2018, Vray 3.7 and Corona 5
You can import Alembics using Max’s standard importer.
3ds max can import Alembic objects and the transformation data stored within the alembic file, but not geo sequences. Am I right?
I am trying to load a .abc sequence of growing ice crystals I created in Houdini and render this sequence in 3dsmax 2018.4 using Corona 5.
The only way to load that sequence I can think of is using a vray proxy, set it to display full geometry, since the corona proxy does not load .abc files and the Corona Volume Grid loads only vdb data.
I am looking for a way to render my .abc sequence in Corona without having to rely on the vray proxy. Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer on that 
Export an animated alembic. Max can load them just fine.
