Re: Softimage and Alembic?

[Sergio Mucino]

From what I heard, the reason behind this is that the Maya Alembic plugins and integration were actually not developed by Autodesk, but by SPI. They sort of handed it over to Autodesk (I don't really know the nature of the partnership between SPI and Adesk). So, technically speaking, Autodesk has not really developed any Alembic plugins for any of its applications. They all come from 3rd parties. It just happens that SPI decided to hand them over their Maya plugins. That's all I know.

Does anyone know if AD are perhaps planning to include Softimage in the Alembic club anytime soon? I know I can go get Exocortex Crate to get Alembic support for Softimage. Maya has it from the factory and our management is asking me if there are plans to incorporate it in Softimage too.  Thanks Morten
