How to apply alembic to a character?

Hello everyone!

I am trying to apply an alembic file to a character here, here’s how I do it…

I load a .obj of the character.
I load an animation of that character in .abc format, it plays nicely in Blender.
I apply the mesh_sequence cache modifier to the imported .obj file then assign the .abc file to it.
I play the animation.
Nothing happens.

I tried different import settings for the object file, keep vertex order is on, also tried split, just in case, but nothing happens, the process works fine in Hitfilm, so I take it its not the mesh, anyone has a suggestion?
