Don't forget that you can save the prop, and it retains the animation you load this way. So you can build up your library of oceans! ;)

I went ahead and made an extended tutorial. The script I used is the same as below (mostly). The script is in the video description.

Here is iProp of directional waves. It can be looped in the timeline. It can also be tiled.

Did you ever find out? I’m in the same boat as you are

Hello everyone

I'm running an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with a Radeon RX 580 series, 8GB RAM.
I'm bringing this post up again, because I have been following the instructions here to make an ocean, but I can't get it to work; I always got an "assertion failed" error. My original goal was not the ocean, but an import of another alembic animation, which I couldn't get to work either, so I switched to the ocean to see if that would work, since it has such clear instructions.

I did my research, I updated visual C++ and my graphic card drivers, and now here are the issues I get:

1) When the python script has the default slashes, iclone says the file can't be found. So I guess the slashes' direction matter, at least sometimes.
 

2) When I change the script and use forward slashes, as suggested by Rampa, I get an "assertion failed" message.



At this point, I downloaded some visual studio stuff to get this JIT debugging working. When I pressed retry, Visual Studio opened and I got what is shown below.



Unfortunately, I don't know what any of this means, so I have no idea know how to fix it. The only thing I haven't tried yet, is to uninstall and reinstall iclone. I thought that since I haven't used it this much yet, it couldn't be "corrupt" already.

Any help would be much appreciated

wait for iclone 7.9 update 
we will be able to import the alembic files onto an fbx

That is good news. I guess there is no announcement as to when this update will be available.

However, why is it that some of us have this issue and others don't, or at least didn't 1 year ago?

Did they add the alembic functionality in the update?

yes !

amazing
did you bring it in from marvelous?
