Alembic Elevator Test
In five seconds, Alembic is:
For computer graphics professionals working with large, complex scenes;
Who
need to quickly, reliably transfer CG assets between heterogeneous
software tools in order to make use of the widest range of available
functionality;
Alembic is an Open, Portable, Computer Graphics Storage Format;
That
is able to accurately store the full range of existing CG primitives,
is open and easily extensible for custom data needs, and is fully
supported in all the major CG animation, rendering, and simulation
tools;
Unlike FBX, which is not extensible or
open, or COLLADA, which is unable to store large assets, or custom
solutions using GTO, which are non-standardized and require too much
implementation-specific knowledge.
