In 3ds Max, while you have "Export as" set to "Mesh", the vertex velocity is in Map Channel 2 of the mesh, named "velocity". 3ds Max's built-in exporter names the Color Set in the exported Alembic file "Max_Map_Channel velocity". Importing the Alembic file back into 3ds Max via the 3ds Max built-in Alembic importer requires you to set the "Velocity channel" to 2 in the V-Ray object properties dialogue, so you can render it with motion blur using V-Ray. Importing the Alembic file in any host via VRayProxy will render with motion blur without any additional adjustments. It requires V-Ray Next Update 1.1, or newer.
