Creasing edges on imported Alembic files?
polycounter lvl 10
Hi! I'm using Crease Edges in Maya as a way to sharpen some corners without adding supporting edges. What I define in Maya I can export as Alembic. Bringing the ABC file to Maya does display what's expected. Testing in Blender yields the same result. But not in Marmoset when subdividing the geometry.
The only way I have found to deal with this is to apply a Smooth operation in Maya, with 2/3/ subdivisions, and then 'bake' that crease loop into the geometry; the result is pretty close (if not identical) than previewing the subdivided mesh in Maya, but with the added pain of having that shape baked in the geometry (and increasing the size of the Alembic file).
Are you aware of any way or process to be able to display Crease information stored in the Alembic file inside Toolbag? Thanks!
