Hi Sandy, I actually got it to not complain in ICE and can visualize values in ICE by using Cd, but see nothing in the Vertex_Colors. This is unfamiliar territory for me, so most likely simple user error somewhere, but slightly clueless atm
I am guessing I need to apply a vertex_color property for ICE to write to, but don't really know. The funny thing is using fbx this just works straight away, but we would like to get the alembic exchange working.
