No Alembic export #3

Open hybridherbst opened 7 years ago

hybridherbst commented 7 years ago

The description says "export Unity scene to USD or Alembic file", but there seems to be no way to actually export an Alembic file.

Or am I missing something?

i-saint commented 7 years ago

if output file name has .abc extension, it will be exported as Alembic. but USD's alembic support seems still very unstable. maybe need more time.

Hi, when trying that Unity simply closes - no warning, no error message, nothing, it just quits. I attached the crash report, would be great if you can take a look. (this is running on Mac, by the way)

We found no way to convert the .usd files to .abc, which greatly reduces the usefulness of this package - is there one for Mac/PC?

it seems a problem in Pixar's UsdAbc. I will try to fix but it will take time. but if you just want to convert .usd to .abc, you should find another solution. I guess Maya can do it.

OK, thank you. Just think that with ABC support this package is much more useful than the less-used USD format.

FYI: there is also Alembic for Unity plugin https://github.com/unity3d-jp/AlembicImporter (it also can export) and our DCC team is working on Alembic as built-in feature.

Would I just need to add .ABC extension after importing alembicimporter?
