Alembic export plugin to Blender

horaceroquintet

Hello,

 

I've just bought the alembic exporter from DAZ shop and tried to imort an animation in Blender.

I use Alembic in Poser11 too ,and it works fgreat, so I expected the same with this plugin in DAZ... 

When importing in Blender, a red message:  Alembic archive is obsolete HDF5 format is not supported...

Whats' wrong ? does the plugin work with Blender (last version) . It's more than boring, the plufgins cost 90$....

You might try an older version of Blender, failing that you may need to look at asking for a refund on the plug-in (assuming it was purchased in the last 30 days) and try another route.

@Richard please bring the alembic discussion to the blender forum since the work by @TheMysteryIsThePoint is focused on blender. And there's also z-cycles there by @JClave always for blender. It is a very important discussion and it really does not make sense to leave it in the daz studio forum.

If the plugin otherwise meets your needs, the official Alembic project distro does include a utility to convert from HDF5 to Ogawa, which Blender will import, but you'll have to build it, or find a binary...
