I was hoping to import a motion file from Maya. with a baked in animation ( animation from mocap. ) however when I import the alembic file i can not work out how to link my textures back to the import node. is it possible or am i barking up the wrong tree. FBX and OBJ don't support animated mesh as I can see.
P.s.this mocap is all a bit new to me so take it easy eg don't ask me to write some code. thanks guys and girls.

Generally FBX supports animation, maybe it is a matter of ticking the right boxes in import and/ or export options tab.

FBX supports object transforms, not vertex.

I did not even know that "transforming" a point makes sense but then again i do not know much about mocap and Maya, thanks. I' ve seen FBX carrying face transforms and potential poses though.

I'm pretty sure FBX vertex animation is only supported through either bone deformation, morph/blend shape animation or external point caches - it might be that even though the format supports it, fusion doesnt. I just tried importing some morph animation on a face capture and it came in without animation

Thanks every one. I rendered out most of the layers from Maya. Then imported the alembic mesh for the final compositing. I would have liked to animate the uvmaps in Fusion to get a little more depth in my final result. Not ideal that the textures don't seem to link into an animated mesh. If any one has a work around for future projects I would love to know. p.s the alembic files come in as a spider web from mars it would be great to have more control over import parameters in the future.
