We need to move animated geometry with animated attributes from Houdini to Softimage. We can get vertex_colors in via FBX, but so far not animated ones. From the short Crate documentation on the topic, I can see it is possible to import custom attributes from alembic files via ICE, but it is beyond my ICE capabilities. Subsequently I would like to hear if someone here is up for the task for a remote freelance gig, and available?
Right now I just need to find someone who knows how to do it, check availability and fee, before committing to the job.
