Solarice USDSkel motion blur subframes Jan. 23, 2024, 10:01 p.m.

Hello.

I am trying to render crowds in Solarice using USD skel and I can't figure out how to generate subsamples. In 19.5 there's this Motion Blur LOP and that works for most things, but for USD Skel prims, it doesn't seem to work. I'm wondering if there is something I might have missed?

Thanks.

Never mind. It was right under my noise with the parameter subdivision group.

Is there a way to force a mesh to be exported as a SubD mesh when exporting through an Alembic ROP in SOP?

I have this Alembic file that contains meshes with intrinsic:abctypename = SubD while in Packed Alembics primitive. Once I unpack it, it becomes Polygons and when I try to re-export it to a new Alembic file using the Alembic ROP and re-import it, it always inherits the intrinsic:abctypename = PolyMesh. I can't seem to find it, but I'm guessing there must be a way to force the Alembic ROP to export it as a SubD mesh !?
