Is there any plan to include a way to import an Alembic particle sequence into the Octane plug-in? In Standalone there is a "Scene" node that you can point directly to an alembic file, where it automatically applies a sphere to each point. This would be very powerful to have as an option in the plug-in, as long as we can import a sequence and not just a single frame. Also would be great to have access to the UV data of the alembic points so we can color the instanced spheres with UV data like you can in Arnold.

Yes, perhaps this could be possible, but not in the short term. Currently, the top priority is to implement all the new Octane 2020.2 features, something that is going to take some time in all the apps, but especially in the LightWave plugin due to the well-known SDK and nodes system ancient architecture.

Thanks,
