Hello

I'm trying to embed an alembic in a digital asset. I can't figure out how to reference it inside the digital asset. I've attached an example.

In that example asset are embedded a test.bgeo and a test.abc.
I can reference the .bgeo with a file node pointing to “opdef../..?test.bgeo”.
If I try it with a alembic node pointing to “opdef../..?test.abc” I get an “error evaluating alembic”. If i reference the alembic from an external source it works, so I don't think the alembic itself is the problem.

can someone tell me what's going on there?

This works for me (try the attached). Using an Alembic SOP, I can access the file using
opdefop/abccontent?subd.abc

Note that for this to work, the Alembic has to be saved in Ogawa format.
