[MAYA] How to export instance object from Houdini to Maya by alembic?

■Houdini alembic particle ⇛　MAYA alembic particle

You could try exporting alembics from houdini using alembic instancing to reduce the file size.
If you use the primitive attribute s@path to name your geometry, and make sure Packed Transform is not set to Deforming Geometry, then the alembic file should use instancing.
Again, you'll have to turn on make_instance in maya (or set i@make_instance=1) to render these alembics.
