With the latest version comes initial support for materials and lights as well. Alembic also has support for transform hierarchies and cameras. Alembic supports the common geometric representations used in the industry, including polygon meshes, subdivision surface, parametric curves, NURBS patches and particles. Often different departments in the same company or different studios are working on the same projects. Its primary focus is the efficient interchange of animated geometry (models) between different groups working on the same shots or same assets, possibly using different applications. It was announced at SIGGRAPH 2011, and has been widely adopted across the industry by visual effects and animation professionals. Alembic is an interchangeable computer graphics file format developed by Sony Pictures Imageworks and Industrial Light & Magic.
