Changes in Alembic for Unity

[1.0.7] - 2020-06-15

Changes

  • Fixed a bug on Windows where file pointers would leak, and after some time all alembic loads would fail.

[1.0.6] - 2019-08-26

Changes

  • Added support for Linux
  • Fixed incorrect normal calculation when the UVs were split
  • Fixed lost references to the scene GameObject when renaming the alembic asset.
  • Fixed the LitAlembic material compatibility with HDRP 4.10 (latest 2018.4 version). For 2019.2+ HDRP standard materials support vertex motion vectors. -Fixed Vertex colour import from Houdini.

[1.0.5] - 2019-05-10

Changes

  • Fixed regression introduced in 1.0.4 where old Alembic scene instances would lose prefab connection. New scene instances made with 1.0.4 are unfortunately unrecoverable

[1.0.4] - 2019-05-2

Changes

  • Fixed crash in the Exporter when using SwapFaces
  • Fixed Branch recording mode in the Exporter
  • Fixed Scene references being lost, when alembic prefab was being renamed
  • Fixed initial import of Alembic files when both the alembic Package and assets are imported at the same time
  • Fixed regression, where absolute paths to alembic assets were stored
  • Alembic importer and Exporter correctly deals with physical Camera parameters

[1.0.3] - 2019-04-9

Changes

  • Do not lock Alembic files when Windows
  • Fix InheritXform on files from Blender
  • Fix multibyte character names for Alembic nodes
  • Fix crash from cyclic sampling
  • Fix crash with empty samples
  • Fix standalone player builds for Windows and OSX. Alembic files are now copied in the StreamingAssets folder of the built application

[1.0.2] - 2019-03-21

Changes

  • Removed BuildTarget.LinuxStandalone (obsolete) references for 2019.2+

[1.0.1] - 2019-03-14

Changes

  • Removed UnityEngine.UI references

[1.0.0] - 2019-01-15

Changes

  • Removed Timeline Alembic recorder
  • General cleanup ### Known Issues
  • The first time the Alembic package is used in a project, the shaders shipped with it need to be reimported, or else all Alembic imports will fail (case 1125012)

[1.0.0-preview.13] - 2019-01-15

Changes

  • Removed broken recording of particles
  • Moved testing code into the package

[1.0.0-preview.10] - 2019-01-15

Changes

  • AlembicShotClip registers the time of the AlembicStreamPlayer as driven so timeline changes to the scene are not persistent
  • AlembicRecorderClip uses tags to target GameObject root when recording a subset of the scene. If there are multiple GameObjects that match this Tag, a warning appears in the inspector and recording is disabled.

[1.0.0-preview.9] - 2019-01-03

Changes

  • Meshes generated by the AlembicStreamPlayer are not serialized with the Scene

[1.0.0-preview.8] - 2018-12-19

Changes

  • Alembic files are No longer copied to the StreamingAssets folder
  • renamed Linux dso to abci.so for consistency
  • reordered DllImport path selection so Editor locations are always found first

Known Issues

  • If you rename the prefab once instantiated, all scene references are lost (move works)

Changes

  • Fixed Windows plugin platform settings
  • Apply Transform On Points is now ON by default to be consistent with mesh behaviour
  • Point clouds are no longer imported by default

  • Updated label of assumeNonSkinnedMeshRendersAreConstant to "Static MeshRenderers" to prevent cropping at default width

Known Issues

  • Camera objects aren't using Physical Camera mode
  • Points renderer motion vector shader doesn't work
  • Camera nodes are still created as GameObjects even if we don't import cameras
  • AlembicWaitForEndOfFrame script is visible from the Component list in the inspector
