ABCReadGeo

ABCReadGeo is an open-source Alembic geometry reader for Nuke.

These are the main features in this first release:

• - Selective loading of different objects in the Alembic archive. Each object can be turned on/off, or loaded as a bounding box instead of the full geometry
• - Interpolation. Geometry can be interpolated between samples (for motionblur, or to reduce the need of densely sampled animations)
• - Retiming. Ability to freeze, offset or retime animated geometry.
• - Support for the two main Alembic geometry types, PolyMeshes and SubDs, both with constant and varying topology.

v 1.2

• Improved performance on files with a large amount of objects
• Uses Alembic 1.0.5

ABCReadGeo is part of the ABCNuke project. The source code is freely available here: http://github.com/ivanbusquets/ABCNuke
