The alembic exporter in Maya has this option to export the geometry in world space, this should fix the problem you’re having.

We seemed to overcome it by enveloping the extra bits, but that could be an issue if we get into eyeball animation. Sending you a direct link Ho.

The enveloped characters are coming in good but sometimes the parented objects don't receive the animation. Extra items like hats, glasses and eyeballs are having trouble because they aren't enveloped. It seems like I'm just missing a checkbox or something when I send it out but I can't figure it out. Right now we are using Maya 2014 and Softimage 2015. Could go to Maya 2015 if needed. Thanks for any tips! Byron
