Alembic

Load An Alembic Frame Sequence

This button lets you load either geometry, or points as an alembic sequence, into and NCache object. (i.e. from a Real-flow cache)  You pick the first *.abc frame, from a numbered sequence, and it will load in and cache the full sequence for you.


if the cache has geometry you will see it immediately, as it is loaded. If the cache does not have geometry (points only), you use NProxy object as a parent to the NCache, You can then set something like cloner, or the matrix object, to use NProxy, as it's points source.
