Anyone have the pyAlembic package compiled for Maya 2015?

Hi Eric, you should also try the Alembic forum, they may have something.

Thanks,

I ended up just using the Python Module that ships with Exocortex since it works with maya, softimage, and houdini with no issues right away.

Best,

Forgive my ignorance if you're referring to another project called "PyAlembic", but if you're referring to the python bindings that are part of the alembic project - those come precompiled with Maya these days (at least as of 2015 on Linux).  Just do "import alembic" from inside of maya's python, and you should get it.

Having said that though - IMHO Exocortex's python bindings are better than the built in ones, and probably preferable if you have them available anyway.  Thanks to the exocortex team for those...

Hey Paul,

I was looking for the cask module and when I was checking around with the Maya alembic module it didn't seem to include it. I need to do some iteration over the file contents and some re-mapping to objects within the scene and it looked like the base alembic module didn't really allow for that easily.

Yes the Exocortex one is much better than even the cask module I think.
