alembic home updates releases source documentation mailing list introduction alembic is an open computer graphics interchange framework alembic distills complex animated scenes into a non procedural application independent set of baked geometric results this distillation of scenes into baked geometry is exactly analogous to the distillation of lighting and rendering scenes into rendered image data alembic is focused on efficiently storing the computed results of complex procedural geometric constructions it is very specifically not concerned with storing the complex dependency graph of procedural tools used to create the computed results for example alembic will efficiently store the animated vertex positions and animated transforms that result from an arbitrarily complex animation and simulation process which could involve enveloping corrective shapes volume preserving simulations cloth and flesh simulations and so on alembic will not attempt to store a representation of the network of computations rigs basically which are required to produce the final animated vertex positions and animated transforms what is alembic alembic is a data representation scheme for storing computer graphics scenes distills the results of artist disciplines for handoff to other artists in other disciplines is focused on the greatest common divisor between applications the periodic table of cg primitives is extensible to support new workflows and new tools alembic is not a dependency graph nor a procedural data transformation tool a replacement for native application scene file formats an asset management application a general rigging storage solution alembic would be used to bake the results of an animated scene for hand off to lighting rendering to hand off an animated creature for cloth or flesh simulation to store the results of a cloth or flesh simulation for use in lighting rendering to hand off animated geometry to a physical simulation engine to store the results of a physical simulation engine for use in lighting rendering alembic would not be used to transport complex procedural animation rigs between different applications to make lossless round trips out of and into the same computation context to construct complex networks of procedural tools subscribe to alembic announce at google groups if you are interested in being notified when updates are made you may subscribe to the alembic announce google group this is a low traffic 1 4 messages month announcement list that the alembic development team will use to communicate major and important news to interested users email your email subscription is subject to the terms of service and privacy policy of google groups tm lucasfilm entertainment company ltd or lucasfilm ltd all rights reserved 2010 sony pictures imageworks inc all rights reserved
