AlembicSource

Loads Alembic caches. Please note that Gaffer requires a bounding box to be computable for every location in the scene. Alembic files can store such bounding boxes, but in practice they often don’t. In this case Gaffer must perform a full scene traversal to compute the appropriate bounding box. It is recommended that if performance is a priority, bounding boxes should be stored explicitly in the Alembic cache, or the Cortex SceneCache (.scc) format should be used instead, since it always stores accurate bounds.

user

Container for user-defined plugs. Nodes should never make their own plugs here, so users are free to do as they wish.

out

The output scene.

enabled

The on/off state of the node. When it is off, the node outputs an empty scene.

fileName

The path to the .abc file to load. Both older HDF5 and newer Ogawa caches are supported.

Supported file extensions : abc

refreshCount

Can be incremented to invalidate Gaffer’s memory cache and force a reload if the .abc file is changed on disk.
