The plugin takes it's geometry from the Poser scene - so you would need to get the Realflow geometry into the Poser scene - then animate with the "refresh scene each frame" option ON. But I haven't used Realflow - so I'm not sure how hard it would be to get that geom into Poser.

The other option would be to export the poser scene (without the Realflow geometry) to OCS, then use some LUA code to merge the Poser scene with the Realflow OBJ's in Octane Standalone.

There's an ugly slow way to do it in the standalone:

Convert the particles to geometry and have realflow export an .obj sequence.

Then load each obj one at a time into the scene and connect it separatately to it's own group and then manually connect each
of the realflow obj groups to the main groups at render time.

It's likely that the connect/disconnect piece could be done in lua script i'm guessing.

is it possible import the file in octane standalone save the project and import it in poser plugin for animated camera or other props?
Poser is really not setup for this sort of thing - I think you would be better using another 3d app to do this.

Yo! I know this is a old topic but I found a solution. I exported a liquid simulation out of Houdini as a Alembic (ABC) format. Import the ABC sequence into octane and use the same method to import VDB but use ABC file instead.

Thank paul!
I've been experimenting with the proxy feature a lot.
