Importing Alembic no animation issue : KeyShot

P

Paul Lang

started a topic about 2 years ago

I have a particle simulation created in Blender, I have converted particles to mesh and baked the animation, exported a alembic. As there are no deformations I used the import, Alembic, Keyframe Transform option but there is no animation in the timeline. Any help would be great!

KeyShot will need to have the particles converted to geometry, You should be able to do this in Blender.

Since the particles have no geometric information KeyShot has trouble reading the alembic cache, but if you convert the particles to geometry it should import no problem. Also once this is done make sure to import deformation.

Give this a try and let me know if it works for you.

Particles are converted to geometry... and also did try Deformations.

Hey Paul,

Can you share the ABC file for some testing?

Let me know if this is something you can do.

Thanks.
