Hi,

As mentioned in the docs, the plugin should come with a custom importer for alembic files,

https://ephere.com/plugins/maxon/c4d/ornatrix/docs/2/Alembic_Import.html

But as far as I understand there is no custom importer in the C4D, I tried eveything but import works in the generic way, am I missing something?

Hi,

If the plugin is loaded, importing an abc file using the Merge command in the File menu will import the abc groom file as an Ornatrix hair object. 

That doesn't work for you?

Hi, thanks for your reply.

No, it doens't work for me, it works like default C4D spline import. Im using the demo version, maybe thats not included in demo?

I just tried with a hair object exported using Ornatrix for Maya, then merged into a C4D scene. This is using the demo version:

I need more information:

  • Exact C4D version,
  • OS,
  • How are you exporting the alembic and from where.
