Hi,

I'm having issues with UVs on a remeshed geo as alembic abc. When I write out a sequence of a remeshed geometry (changing topology per frame) Softimage is not able to interpret the UV data. Import in Hou works just fine, everything is there. Strange thing is it works on a single frame, but not with a sequence. I tried to import with the XSI importer (15 SP1) and via Exocortex Crate. I also tried to split the abc-sequence per frame (mesh_001.abc, mesh_002.abc, …)but this just gives the error:

“Caching : Object topology (points count or edges count or polygons count or uv sample) doesn't match.”

Heres the setup for better understanding and the scene file attached:


Anyone ever discovered this? Am I missing something or is there a workaround? Thanks for the help.

Ok, colleague found out that you can generate a UV property with the Crate importer. Then use ICE to set the UVs from the alembic afterwards. Not beautiful, but it works.
