Hi, I´ve come across Helge Matee alembic import workgroup for softimage on google docs. It called to my attention, there´s a software named SpeedTree which specializes in making trees grow and export them as .abc files (alembic files).
Alembic looks really good regarding point cloud animation and it´s setup seems quite simple for such danting tasks. Has anyone had experience with SpeedTree? Gi-joe, and other movies seem to have used this software to develop foliage for their scenes. What´s the workflow with alembic like? Does it import correctly to softimage? Does it carry textures with it? On the vimeo video, Helge shows how to export the animated model and the camera, and thus opens it up on Max, Maya, and XSI. Thanks. David.
