# Import and Make Relative Path for Alembic (.abc) files in Blender 2.90

In order to **import and make a relative path for alembic (.abc) files in Blender 2.90**, please follow the following steps:

[***Alembic***](https://www.alembic.io/) *is an open interchange format for geometry and animation. It was initially developed by teams from Sony Pictures Imageworks and Industrial Light & Magic.*

**Step 1.** When importing alembic files into a scene, please make sure the "Relative Path" option in the Blender File View is enabled.

**Step 2.** Check to see if the file path is relative before uploading the project file to 3S Cloud Render Farm
