Will Alembic import / export be supported in 3dsMax 2013? It was added in the Maya Subscription Advantage Pack and I’m hoping to see it the new release this April.  If not we’ll unfortunately then be looking to pay a capable programmer to implement it for us, as waiting a year and a half or more for a feature the other packages have picked up right already (XSI thanks to Exocortex, and Maya in the latest SAP) isn’t really an option.

Give us all something to look forward to?
