The issue with faceSets not rendered in Maya is already filed, but I think it’d take a while for the fix to be accepted into the Alembic main line. Meanwhile, you can use the plugin I’ve recompiled here https://sourceforge.net/projects/mayaalembicimport/files/
Just download the .mll and copy it to c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2015\bin\plug-ins\ That should fix the faceSet rendering problem. About the materials not exported into Alembic, this is due to the fact there is yet a universal standard for exchanging materials between tools. Even the Maya AbcImport and Export don’t support this. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alembic-discussion/1HaVR4LvHK8/f4732VncozwJ However, you can always use FBX to bring your materials to Maya.

You can get the source and recompile AbcImport plugin. https://code.google.com/r/nghochung-softimage-alembic/source/detail?r=e6512b6db1792aa797641511737124fb2cbf0794 From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Ho Chung Nguyen Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2014 9:22 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: RE: SI2015 alembic vs maya This seems like an issue with the Alembic plugin in Maya, even an abc file exported from Maya can’t be re-imported correctly when there are multiple materials on the mesh. We’re looking into it. From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Szabolcs Matefy Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 11:47 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: RE: SI2015 alembic vs maya Ok. So far I could exchange between Maya and Softimage static geometry, and non-deformed geometry. Whenever deformed (deformer, envelope, shape animation) is involved, the geometry apparently doesn’t take the material IDs with itself, and the geometry is appearing in Maya in green shade, not rendering at all, etc, unless I assign a material. If it is a multi-material stuff, then apparently the clusters are empty in Maya. If anybody could confirm that or had such an issue and resolved it, please drop me a line!
