Lovely. Beautiful work. I was just wondering (because I've been installing and trying to work with a bunch of renderers) whether it would be a good idea to have 3rd-party renderers simply read something like Alembic, rather than try to engineer their own translators for all 3D packages, which then must all be kept current, etc. etc.
Now they don't need to. I just wish some of the Creation tools weren't only frameworks, but were finished applications, so folks like me (no coding skillz nor developer department) could really use them.
