import multiple objects in sequence

Hi,

 

I would like to know if it was possible to import several objects in .abc format but in sequences one next to the other? that is to say from 0 to 1 frame I want there to be a model, then when I go from 1 to 2 frame there must be another model displayed? then from 2 to 3 frame another model too, etc etc
Is this sort of thing possible?


Thanks in advance

You could use multiple alembics and just toggle their visibility.

 

Writing a script that key the visibility of n objects on for a single frame in sequence should be pretty easy.

This script will do it. https://github.com/italic-r/maya-prefs/blob/master/scripts_unused/craOBJSequences.mel 

It's made with a choice node and toggles between each object for each  frame. If you are using the same mesh deforming than after you import it you can make it a target for a blendshape and export it as an alembic.
