Hey guys, friend of mine sent me an animated procedural object with UV, format is Alembic.
Using SI2015 importing the animation does not seem to import the UV data. The animation is fine, but the UV simply are not there.
When i try to import the same alembic file into maya, it reads both the animation and the UV.
is there something to do on Softimage part to read the UV?

Have you tried using crate to import the alembic?

It was released open source and there is a plugin for 2015, so it may work:
