Hi, I try to export an animation with 5 elements into octane standalone and I've only thi in the picture enclosed.
Impossible to modify material of each element. Idon't see them separately.
the visual simulation is not nice ? normal ?
I'm a neewbee and maybe something's wrong.

thanks for your help

Hi,
firstly your scale is off, this is shown by all the black artifacts. Please, select the .abc node and click the "edit settings for this geometry file" in the Node Inspector. From there you can change the scale and activate some options for trying to load the material or the objects layers.
Unfortunately, the Alembic import largely depends from the modelling app that exports the file.
Which modelling app are you using?

No worry, everyone needs to figure out how the things work the first time ;)
happy rendering,
