Cask

Cask is a high level convenience wrapper for the Alembic Python API. It blurs the lines between Alembic “I” and “O” objects and properties, abstracting both into a single class object. It also wraps up a number of lower-level functions into high level convenience methods.

Basic Usage

Read an archive from disk ::

>>> a = cask.Archive("lights.abc")

Create a new empty archive ::

>>> b = Archive()

Deep dictionary access ::

>>> a.top.children["root/world/lgt/gaffer/point/pointShape"]
<Light "pointShape">
>>> l.schema.getNumSamples()
