abc colored point format(compatibility with Maya abc Import)

[panlotte]

Hi Daniel.
I was wondering if can you create a abc file format importer and exporter. This would be great to have.
Thank

What is this format? Do you have the specifications?

It’s not a point cloud specific format, but I’m assuming the OP is referring to the Alembic file format:

Ouch! Another library with tons of new dependencies, and for a quite exotic format...

Well, anyone who would make such a contribution would be welcome of course ;).

And thanks Jed for the pointers!
