Thank you! I was trying to figure out how it works

Thank you for reply! I will be checking those out! But the code in the scatter node in Octane.. is it automatically generated from the abc? Or is there a way to generate such code?

When an alembic node is imported in Standalone from c4d, in general, the scale must to be set in cm in the abc node preferences, and deselect the "merge material with the ...
