I am getting this error when I try to use this script to import Alembic file to iClone.7
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this error when running this script?
Your help is appeciated.

import RLPy
file_path = "C:/MD_to_iClone/Outfit.abc"
object = RLPy.RScene.FindObject( RLPy.EObjectType_Prop, "Outfit" )
RLPy.RFileIO.LoadAlembicFile(object, file_path, RLPy.ECoordinateAxis_Y)

The ERROR is listed below



Dell Precision T5500; Windows 10 Pro; Dual Xeon 5687 3.60GHz Processors; 72GB Ram; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080; Samsung 1TB SSD; Seagate 2TB 7200RPM HDD; Wacom Intuos Tablet; ASUS Dual Monitors

That’s the same error I got and the way it was explained to me was that the OBJ file does not match the Alembic one. They told me that I would have to make sure that they both match. I wasn’t able to get much more information than that.

This error could mean a couple of things.

But most of the time, it's due to dynamic topology in alembic file (when number of vertices/faces are changing during animation). Such alembic file cannot be imported at this time.
Number of vertices in OBJ and Alembic files must be the same on frame 1 and be se same throughout the entire alembic animation.

If alembic target prop has more than one material, then you must apply physix weight map for each material regardless whether soft cloth became active for this prop after applying map to the first material.
You can apply any dummy B/W image to each material slot in physix weight map property. Otherwise you'd get mentioned error on import.
