Yep, maya namespaces with ':' special character kind of suck. What feels the most anoying though is the fact that alembic being streamed from the file system is already a referencing workflow by itself. I could have done it go without namespaces. But different characters containing geos following the same naming convention can't receive alembic point caches at in the same scene. All right, that's not a maya mailing list over here but for bitching it's fine no ? Thanks for answering anyway Steven.
