Exocortex Crate has a shared framework for loading Alembic data that we use across Maya, 3DS Max and Softimage -- so most of the loading code is shared, just the DCC-specific stuff isn't. Maya is just a faster DCC when there is a lot of objects in the scene - for +1000 objects, Maya is at least a couple times faster if not more. -ben Best regards, Ben Houston (Cell: 613-762-4113, Skype: ben.exocortex, Twitter: @exocortexcom) https://Clara.io - Online 3D Modeling and Rendering
