Scrub/change timeline VRayProxy crash

Hiya,
Have a bunch of fluid sims in as alembic. Alembics work *great*.
Massive file size when exporting to vrscene, so tried importing the alembics via VRayProxy. Worked fine (smaller vrscene sizes too, great!).

Problem: Now Maya crashes on any timeline scrub or change current frame by more than one frame. A lot. Is this familiar ?

Which Maya and V-Ray versions are you working with?

Maya version 2018.3
Vray (various versions) up to and including stable build 28291

Note: The crashing never occurs when I import alembic “normally”. Bullet-proof stable. VRScene file sizes are the only issue this way.

The crashes only occur (almost every time now) when using VrayProxy to load them.

Any chance you can get us a scene and alembic that crashes?

Hi Alex, Sure I’ll put together a scene as soon as I get the chance. I scratched the original in frustration with deadline looming.
