Description Bernd 2018-09-30 10:29:36 UTC
Now that we have media-gfx/alembic in the tree, I'd like to ask to add an alembic USE flag to add import / export support for alembic (.abc) files to blender.

Blender supports this file format for at least since version 2.79, please see also https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.79/Alembic

I managed to include this in my overlay and can prepare a PR if the change get's approved. I tested it by importing the Emily 2.1 scene file from the digitalhuman project (see http://gl.ict.usc.edu/Research/DigitalEmily2/).

Due to no response so far, I'm going to prepare a PR for this.

    media-gfx/blender: Version bump to 2.83.4
    
    Blender 2.83.4 works with python 3.7. It may compile with 3.8, but
    blender only supports 3.7 officially as it follows the VFX Reference
    Platform to ensure that user add ons are not broken in the process.
    They plan to introduce 3.8 support in 2021.
    
    New features include a new interface, the realtime eevee renderer,
    and importing openvdb files created by other packages among others.
    Game engine and Blender Player were removed in 2.80.
    
    Bug fixes in this version are alembic support, upstream fixes for
    opencollada, requiring openjpeg:2 to avoid security issues, and
    mimeinfo cache is correctly updated. Where these issues remain in
    blender 2.79b, the bug is linked but should be closed only when
    blender 2.79b is removed.
    
    On my system the docs do not currently compile,
    and the polyfill2d test still fails like 2.79b.
    
    Blender 2.83 support for draco, embree, oidn, usd and openxr is not yet
    implemented pending development of ebuilds for these packages.

Alembic is supported in blender 2.80+, and now that blender 2.79b is no longer in the tree this bug can be closed.
Comment 6 Bernd 2020-12-05 17:07:54 UTC
You're right Adrian, thanks for cleaning up!
