# alembic3d

Unofficial, pip-installable wheels of the **PyAlembic** bindings for
[**Alembic**](https://github.com/alembic/alembic), the open-source 3D geometry
interchange format used across VFX and animation.

The sole purpose of this project is to make those bindings installable from PyPI
**without a name clash**: the official Python module is imported as `alembic`,
but the `alembic` name on PyPI already belongs to SQLAlchemy's unrelated
database-migration tool. This project therefore packages them under the
distribution and import name **`alembic3d`**:

```python
pip install alembic3d
```

```python
import alembic3d
from alembic3d.Abc import *
from alembic3d.AbcGeom import *
```

The bindings themselves are unchanged from upstream — only the package/import
name differs.

- **Packaging repository (this project):** <https://github.com/redd76/alembic-3d>

## About this release

`0.0.1` **only reserves the `alembic3d` name** on PyPI and ships no bindings. The
functional wheels (Windows / macOS / Linux, across current CPython versions)
will be published under a later version.

## Not affiliated

This is an **unofficial** repackaging. It is **not affiliated with, endorsed by,
or supported by** the Alembic project, the Academy Software Foundation,
Industrial Light & Magic, Sony Pictures Imageworks, or SQLAlchemy's unrelated
`alembic` tool. Alembic is distributed under the BSD-3-Clause license.
