Hello,

Thank you for posting to the Area forums.

Does using the option to Import to the scene root make a difference? I am mainly a Maya user, but trying to help out with 3ds Max and I have had this option make a difference on the Maya end.

I hope that information is helpful.

Cheers,

Hi, thanks for answer.

In max i use alembic object creation, where I don't see any options.

So I tried to import alembic, and see an import option with scene root option checked.

But no success... 😞

When I was playing with alembic files from point cache, if I remember well, it seems that max keep uvs for the first frame (so the base object) but loose uvs for other frames (modified object).

Hello,

I looked in our internal database and we currently have an opened change reqeuest which our development team is looking into a resolution for.

As a workaround you may be able to use Maya. If you don't have a license you could download a trial.

I found that exporting as Alembic using the HDF5 format instead Ogawa seems to preserve UVs in Max 2016.

I also found that exporting to Alembic from 0 to 100 will cause your animation's xform to be wrong at frame zero. Export -1 to 100 and uncheck 'fit time range'.
