Though I’d agree that overwriting caches to avoid updating is risky, and that a better approach is to try and handle that more efficiently so that it wouldn’t be so tedious (i.e. a version manager of sorts), there might be something else you can do to work yourself out of this corner; at least temporarily.
How about this; when sending anything to be rendered, it makes a copy of the alembic and renders that. Once finished, it can remove the copy and the next render would do the same. To keep copies from adding up, you could cache the copy at a global directory in which each file is unique and perhaps dated. Then, when a rendering machine is about to make a copy of the file it’s about to render, it could first look in the cache it is has already been copied. /server/scene1/character1/final.abc /server/cache/final.20150404-125612.abc # With creation date of original On 4 April 2015 at 12:34, Tuan Nguyen <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, we already kept version isolated to each other, however, to avoid > that we will have to change the reference path everytime new version get > published, we make a final version which actually the lastest published > version, so it get update automatic. > > In our company, since artists used various 3d program for different tasks > (like maya, max houdini...) we using alembic for data exchanging.It > light,easy to used, supported by many software.
