Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

Reading external abc file seems impossible after some testing (sounds logicial) but export should work with some hack. Here reading a blender .abc file in houdini seems to work correctly (have to delete some strange duplicated packed alembic prim before). Waiting for updates, good job Lukas! 20

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

Alright, good to know. No further questions then so far, as I can't use it in it's current state. Maybe just one thing: why not write/read abc files in a more compatible way right from the start? I thought that is the point about alembic, that it is pretty much streamlined out of the box... > Lu

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

No, it's just an internal caching feature atm. We are aiming to have some basic import/export from other software eventually and make the format more compatible. You can come to the #blendercoders irc channel if you have questions, my nick is lukas_t. On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 2:08 PM, Thomas Volkma

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

So I have the latest Gooseberry build up and running. It seems it is not designed to load 3dParty Alembic files atm, or am I mistaken? Is there a official place for information/questions/feedback? thx, Thomas > Thomas Volkmann hat am 9. März 2015 um 14:14 > geschrieben: > > > Thanks Jeffrey,

Thanks Jeffrey, I was now able to build alembic... now to the Blender part > Jeffrey hat am 8. März 2015 um 21:48 > geschrieben: > > > Sure thing. The packages I had to install I found through failed > compiling attempts, so your required packages might vary. > > > Install glew-devel, libXmu-

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

Sure thing. The packages I had to install I found through failed compiling attempts, so your required packages might vary. Install glew-devel, libXmu-devel Skip bootstrap.py and go straight into cmake-gui Point ILM libs to /opt/lib/openexr/lib/... Enable HDF5 and point HDF5_DIR to /usr/bin D

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

Hey Jeffrey, can you give a short overview how you managed to build Alembic on Fedora? That would be awesome! Thx, Thomas On 03/08/2015 07:06 AM, Jeffrey wrote: > I got Alembic building thanks to Martijn's fork on github and got > blender building with support. I've tested that it works within b

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

I got Alembic building thanks to Martijn's fork on github and got blender building with support. I've tested that it works within blender and reads from stored caches. Where is the best place we can ask questions or give feedback? Here or on the patch tracker? On 03/05/2015 04:15 AM, Sergey Sha

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

Just quick update, Linux build environment should be now ready for alembic. On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 9:45 PM, Jeffrey wrote: > Neither can I. For what it's worth, I have tried building from their > sources, which gives me a linking error, as well as with > install_deps.sh, which tells me "getopt

Neither can I. For what it's worth, I have tried building from their sources, which gives me a linking error, as well as with install_deps.sh, which tells me "getopt: unrecognized option --with-alembic" and --with-all does not download or build it. Also Fedora 20 x64 On 03/03/2015 05:34 AM, Th

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

I guess I have to wait for the buildbot. I didn't manage to compile Alembic on my system (Fedora20). Is there an estimated time when you want to set it up? thx, Thomas > Lukas Tönne hat am 3. März 2015 um 13:49 geschrieben: > > > Martijn Berger (Juicyfruit) has done a great job making an Alem

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

Martijn Berger (Juicyfruit) has done a great job making an Alembic fork on github, to get rid of all the annoying cmake errors in Alembic sources. https://github.com/martijnberger/alembic A pull request has been made to try and get these changes into Alembic. For the time being i would suggest us

Re: [Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

I didn't manage to compile with scons yet, but that's mostly because of library path issues and time constraints on my side. The buildbot also uses scons, so if there are remaining issues we will fix them in the process of getting the buildbot updated. On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 10:54 AM, Piotr Arluko

WOW, that's a long awaited news! Thank you Lucas!!! what about scons integration? Can I check this out? regards Pio ​Piotr ​ Arlukowicz, BFCT​ ​*YT: /user/piotao?feature=guide* *FB:* */polskikursblendera* *TW:* */piotao* *Blender Network:* *https://www.blendernetwork.org/piotr-arlukowicz

[Bf-committers] Alembic support in Blender

It's about to get real! The Gooseberry team would like to start using the new caching system with Alembic ASAP. This means that we should make sure Alembic dependencies and the library itself can be properly built and linked by Blender. First goal is Linux (since we use it in the Blender Institute
