alembic procedural does use not velocity for motion blur

alembic procedural does use not velocity for motion blur, instead, Arnold tries to create its motionblur, which it mess because of changing point count. if write ass files it works, it take v attr for motionblur.

if i unpack and load into Houdini the alembic Arnold take v for motionblur, but it takes much more to the first pixel. that's why i wanna use almebic procedurals.


is it a bug or feature?

The alembic procedural should use velocity data if it is in the archive. How are you exporting the data? Are you exporting with the velocity data in the alembic?

Hi, how did you get to make Renderman use velocity attributes from alembic? I ‘ve stored velocity attributes as 3float color and although I can import and use them with pxrprimvar nodes when shading, I cannot figure out how to use them to motion blur my changing topology water geometry
