Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the Blender codebase, but I am really interested in getting Alembic into Blender as a personal project. More information at alembic.io So far I got Alembic compiled on my OSX system, haven't tried windows or linux.
Some things that I noticed right away: - OpenEXR's dependency ilmBase is in common with Alembic, however it has be upgraded to 1.0.3 (not sure what version is currently included). - It brings HDF5 as a dependency. - Boost 1.51.0 breaks a test of Alembic (no big deal though), Alembic was tested with 1.44 by the developers. I'd like to talk about the integration in Blender. Erwin94 (sorry I don't know your real name) suggested to start with extending the mesh cache modifier. Note that Alembic is not a pure Geometry cache format, it can cache the entire scene inside a single file, including lights, camera's, curves, nurbssurfaces and even custom data. So I'm looking for a more general solution for integrating. --Jeroen _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
