I wrote that, in Area, and nothing has changed , still ,Crate is the only decent solution, some people use it even for softwares that have ABC support, like Houdini, Maya, etc...Let me clarify.
The digital Frontier plugin is great and free , but it is not the alembic
complete solution at all,
it does not offer support for animated cameras or particles.
I am talking about an effective solution like Excortex crate, Which has
all those features ,
but unlike a Maya or Houdini alembic solutions is not free , it is a US$400
solution.
My point since the begginning and my question is.
Why Maya , Lightwave , Modo , Houdini, Realflow, even Speedtree
have DECENT support for
alembic , (now 1.5) and 3ds Max doesn't have ? Hope my explanation helped,
and that you consider
my question relevant.
I have clarisse on my pipeline,and I need softwares that have an alembic
solution, 3ds Max is the only one that need another plugin to work
properly.in Isotropix, forum I give a lot of details , about this annoying
subject,
The lack of embeded alembic support for 3ds Max 2014, it is already on
Autodesk wish list.

The japanese DT solution works very well for many purposes, Though.
