Issues and show-stoppers in Blender ​

• Materials need to exist (appended or linked) in blend file before alembic import so names can be matched (could also be an automated post process)
  • Sybrens idea: have some way to automatically (re)map materials based on name, and/or auto-create dummy materials otherwise. Still TBD.
• Hair curves support of intercept and UV maps not clear (or non-existent)
• Particle hair currently lags one frame behind playback (and render)
• Blender’s hair simulation system does not support sim from alembic cache
  • We have to find a workaround for simulating hair, alembic curves (result of anim export) cannot be simulated
• No support for caching animated values (camera cache, driven material values)
  • Design task in T69046
