Alembic use in C4D

I tried to use Alembic as Xreffing animated objects with Maxwell Materials, but I can't get it to work?

What would be the prefered method? We use large models with animated objects and we want to keep the MXS-sequence files as small as posible by using Alembic.

Also I can't seem to get the MWObjectAlembic working in studio with a Alembic file from C4D? There's nothing showing up.

We are testing C4D with Maxwell. Workflow:

1 - Rhino (Model from engineering with Maxwell Materials, export .MXS)
2 - C4D (Import .MXS, animate objects/parts on the model, export .ABC)
3 - C4D (Make scene with camera's and use the .ABC model(s))
4 - Send to Network for Rendering

Can someone tell me if this is possible?

Cheers

It's difficult to say much without doing some research; I'm not sure which types of problems or limitations might be involved. I'll try it out though, and see.
