Cylindrical projection is not working properly.

Works for me, with a little tweeking of the settings

How strange, my exported scene file (from Daz Studio Alembic Exporter) does not seem to show a connector for a camera (as seen in inthe post by Elvissuperstar007)... ?

There is no Alembic camera slot on the exported 'scene' object file?

Also,

Still have a skin issue with Alembic but not obj?

Any advice please?

Thank you

UPDATE: Trying to import Michael 4 exported by Daz Alembic exporter crashes ORSA EVERY TIME, Genesis exports fine apart from the messed up texture issue! Also, choosing the option 'preserve subdevision surfaces' results in the Alembic export failing to load every time!

Does it crash Octane or does it fail to load the file? If it crashes, are you able to upload a file causing a crash?

Octane at the moment only supports triangle meshes, the other forms of geometry (subDiv, strands etc.) are not imported.

Also if the Alembic file contains a camera objects then the imported scene node will have a camera output (blue-green) for every of these camera objects. Cameras are part of the Alembic standard, this is mentioned on the Alembic website.

Perhaps its not entirely intuitive either
Any chance then of an updated manual soon?

Here is an animated GIF that show camera connection for alembic file.

Your screenshots are living proofs it is not working.

Then I failed to understand your problem I guess! Was hoping to have been of some help, sorry!

Thanks for the Gif, Sadly though my Daz exported Alembic Files do not contain Cameras & two Daz Mods say they should not BUT Roeland (here @ Otoy) provides proof that Alembic files can include cameras...

guessing Daz team was not aware of the 1.5 Alembic update maybe

Orion it's fine - I mean thank you for you feedback. There should be no additional scaling required if the mapping was working correctly - when you pin the box projection everything is perfect (on a box). Even on your screenshots heavy deformations of the texture are visible on sides of a cylinder.
