Alembic import to octane1.5 Animated geometry support

[Evgen]

Hello. I have alembic file with animated geometry inside.
It is not just object transform, it is really dynamic soft-bodies from houdini.
So i haven't see this objects after importing it to octane.
Does octane supports animated geometry from alembic?
Thank you

It does.
In octane 1.5 right click, go to geometry and choose "scene".
That will allow you to load an alembic file. You will need to make a render target and connect the camera and mesh data from the alembic file in order to render out the animation with the script.

Thank you kavorka for answer.
Unfortunately my alembic node doesn't have outputs. Could you check it in your octane?
Maybe this alembic is not proper format?

I'll check later, cant while I'm at work.

There should be 2 nodes on the bottom of the alembic node. One is geometry, one is camera.

Seems that I just do something wrong so its ok now) Thank you

The attached file contains subdivided geometry. Octane 1.5 can't load this.
