+FaexEditing what version of Realflow are you using and did you select the geometry in Maya and clicked export "selected"? Maybe try "export all to alembic" from Maya.
+TunnelvizionTV VFX Tutorials might also be something with the way your geo is setup. Maybe do a test with some very basic geo like a box. I do know Realflow does not like quads, maybe try triangulate your geo before exporting.
Hi Awesome Tutorial! When I Import the alembic into Maya, it has weird black faces on one side, as if the Normals are flipped. But I've tried conforming the Normals, but nothing changes.
JFWfilms Have you tried adding a material to see if that resolves it? That's been happening to me (with Maya imports into Keyshot) and adding a material has resolved it for me.
Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much... the sticth option is the one m searching from 100000 days...
You save my life, I was going crazy with maya crashing
really helpful. thank you
Fantastic! The Maya crashes plagued me for the past two weeks! Thank you so much!
Hello. What do you think is better, realflow standalone or realflow plug-in?
Hey dude so would you say this is better than tryingto use bifrost?
Ja wat se! good to hear some SA'n tutorials

Could you please show how to do the final render or how to show it more realistic

TunnelvizionTV VFX Tutorials I tried both and unfortunately no fix, I'm using real flow 2013
+FaexEditing that's strange. And Maya version?

I sorted it! It was a problem with the normals. The normals were locked. I unlocked the normals and then conformed normals under mesh display.
That's a better idea:)
I will try it for C4D.

i import the .abc file into maya2017 but failed... "Unrecognized file type"... how can i fix this?
for scaling isn't maya 1cm and realflow 1m ?
great tut.. i was wondering is the plugin for free or not ? i've been looking for maya 2017 plugin for realflow but i couldn't find it ? any ideas ?
Uhm.. Realflow freezes when try to Stitch (I have 65Gb of abc files). How much time do I need to wait?
I want to know about this too. The same is happening with me.
link de descarga del plugin ??
Does it work on maya 2015 too?
+ExpDave's World yes it does!
