Hey all,

I was wondering if it is possible to use PyAlembic in houdini. I know there is the alembic extension but it is quite limited to wat it can do. For pipeline purposes I want to get some metadata from the top level node. This is as far as I know not really possible with the extension. However with PyAlembic I can access the top level with the getTop() function.

Is it really necessary to compile PyAlembic for houdini myself or is there an other way to get it to work from within houdini.

Thanks in advance!

Ralph
