Re: Exocortex Crate (the Alembic suite) goes open source.
I've been very busy lately so I'm a little late to this thread. But I have to say that this is the best Christmas present ever! Especially because the AD implementation of Alembic in 3ds Max is a total joke and completely useless. You rock Ben!

I use both actually. Because crate can't import/export everything. And on the other hand the si implementation can't neither.

Re: Exocortex Crate (the Alembic suite) goes open source.
Hi Simon, We will continue to contribute to ExocortexCrate as need be. The Alembic suite though is a fairly complete product at this point -- the only major exception is Custom Attributes in Maya. We would though be looking for consulting work from studios that need non-trivial features added to the suite -- either individually or jointly. We are very open to consulting work to add new features. We will also for the foreseeable future be creating the builds for the various platforms as needed. We are also very busy with Clara.io -- that is true.
