Hey guys, please don’t forget about the @KevinDietrich patch to support attribute import in Alembic files, it’s not possible to have an advanced workflow with Alembic files (advanced simulation) without this, and AFAIK it’s practically finished since a version ago, I just used it in a project with great success

Nothing has been merged into master, @KevinDietrich did a build that I’ve been using, but it’s 3.5 alpha, I’ll upload it to graphicall, without that build my current project would have rendered impossible to do with Blender, so I’m very grateful for it :slight_smile:

Kevin was going to prepare some patches but I’m not sure if he had time yet for it.
