So I need to extract vertex colours from an Alembic exported in Blender. I'm almost there–using the Python node I can get an empty array of Cd attributes:
I submitted this as a Houdini bug but SESI claims it is a Blender export bug. I have reported this to the Blender developers and there is some investigation in progress. https://developer.blender.org/T53745 [developer.blender.org]
It is an interesting approach to try and pull the information directly from the .abc file, however.
Are you unpacking your Alembic before you run the Python?
