Eric Mootz posts a look at emReader for Softimage, which has the same functionality of a previously released emReader for Modo, which was a procedural, fast and reliable geometry cache file reader.

Quick loading and rendering of indexed geometry cache files without the need to import them

Here, Eric runs through the introduction of emReader and how it integrates into Softimage, walking thought all the features of emReader for Softimage. What makes emReader unique is that the geometry cache files are only referenced (instead of imported) and directly passed to the renderer when needed.
