Seriously, where is Epic on this? The efforts put forth so far have been on the shoulders of another company, but people ask for this all the time and Alembic has been embraced by almost every platform out there from 3ds max, maya, unity, cryengine…
It was on the list to be implemented and now it’s not. I for one would pay serious money for this as my cinematics rely on it. Recently, I have thought to take my projects to vRay or a similar renderer. I’m aware UE4 is primarily a RT game engine, but it is only a few steps away from being much more than that, especially with the implementation of Sequencer. Come on Epic, step up to the plate and knock it out of the park.
If Ikirma and crew can find a way to make this a reality but need some incentive, (most the work seems to be completed) let’s talk.
