So I am having a difficult time trying to understand how to connect a material to an alembic, I have a shop network with my materials and I cannot for the life of me find an answer online or figure it out with brute force. I've managed to change import settings to add a material to each object but it renders gray and I don't know if the uvs are not coming in or not then? I try looking in the UV layout and there is nothing there. I am extremely lost at this point, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alright I feel dumb, I didnt realize that there are advanced settings in maya to add UVS Derp derp. So this thread is not for not. I am currently changing the alembic setting USER PROPERTIES (Load Values and MetaData) Then select every object in the alembic and adding the material in the render tab. Is there a faster way of doing this? There are about 20 meshes and they are all sharing a material with udims.
