Helge Mathee shows another feature update for Exocortex’s implementation for Alembic complex procedural geometric constructions in Softimage with support for PurePointCache as well as Dynamic Topology. Exocortex’s Softimage implementation for Alembic is in open beta right now.

Alembic is an open computer graphics interchange framework. Alembic distills complex, animated scenes into a non-procedural, application-independent set of baked geometric results. This ‘distillation’ of scenes into baked geometry is exactly analogous to the distillation of lighting and rendering scenes into rendered image data.
