Thank you Hans and Ho, this is awesome. Unfortunately I'm unable to get this plugin to work yet, for some reason its not finding the python modules you provided. "import imath # ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found." I have copied the 3 python libraries to the path you specified and also tried putting them on other locations like "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2015\Application\python\DLLs" for example, but with no success. I tried borrowing the package files from Maya 2015 and also the ones from the link provided by Hans, but they seem to be exactly the same with a slightly different date stamp. I have a PYTHONPATH environment pointing to a network location where I have extra python packages, I tried putting the files there also, but no luck either...
I'm guessing I'm still missing something :) On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 7:41 AM, Hans Adrian (Intern) < hans.adr...@autodesk.com> wrote: > You can download the PyAlembic package from here: > https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyalembic/ > > and as mentioned, put the 3 pyd files in c:\Program > Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2015\Application\python\Lib\site-packages\ > > Thanks. > > From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto: > softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Ho Chung Nguyen > Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 1:06 PM > To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com > Subject: RE: Softimage 2015 Alembic attach to geometry > > Hans forgot to mention that you’d need the PyAlembic package for the > plugin to work. > > If you have Maya 2015, you can ‘borrow’ their package by copying these 3 > files > c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\Python\Lib\site-packages\alembic.pyd > c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\Python\Lib\site-packages\iex.pyd > c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\Python\Lib\site-packages\imath.pyd > over to > c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage > 2015\Application\python\Lib\site-packages\ > > FYI, the PyAlembic package allows you to read and write Alembic file using > Python. > > From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto: > softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Hans Adrian (Intern) > Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2014 10:49 AM > To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com > Subject: RE: Softimage 2015 Alembic attach to geometry > > Hi Nuno, > > Attached is a plugin that you could use to attach an object from Alembic > file to a SoftImage object.
