Fix characters in shots #45

Or find out where the import path should point to

mswindler commented 5 years ago

It looks like when an alembic is exported for a shot, an alembic file is created for each object in the scene. However, each of these files is untitled000_.abc.

Instead, I think I want a separate alembic for the characters, (and animated props, but for all intents and purposes, we're going to call those characters as well), and rename the alembic file accordingly to the name of the character.

Then, I can grab the right alembic file in import for the character in the shot.
