A lot of issues concerning Animation with the OcDS plugin have been addressed.
What remains troubling in a seemingly unfinished state is animation export to OR standalone.
What is working?
You can animate OctaneRender specific parameters in OcDS.
When exporting the scene as ORBX and opening it in OR standalone there will be a timeline and the animated OR native parameters have been imported.
What is not working?
- Translation, Rotation, etc of even simple objects like a sphere are not carried over to OR standalone with ORBX export
- Changing the pose of figures are not carried over to OR standalone.
-> After importing the ORBX in OR standalone there is no visible timeline even when the animation rendered properly in the OcDS plugin.

Example Test Scene - Sphere Z Translated and Pose Change G3F:

Test Scene:
I put only the .duf in the .zip because the ORBX with 120+ MB seems to be large to be attached.

-> As far as I am aware .ORBX animation export of translated, pose changed, morphed changed figures to OR standalone has probably never worked before.
I was under the impression that those are known issues and were supposed to be fixed together with Object Motion Blur.

To make sure I double checked with an other example
Genesis 3 Male
Morph "Heavy" applied at frame 10.
Example 2: Animation export of morphed figures from OcDS to OR standalone
Make sure to select TRSV in keymate to actually see the morph Values.
It can take some scrolling down to find the Heavy Morph...
Result:
-> Morph Animations that are detected and working in OcDs do not show up after importing the .ORBX in OR standalone.
The timeline is missing.

Thanks for posting this. If I use the Alembic Export->Start Export option in the System tab of the plugin (3.0.12.20), then open the resulting OCS file in Octane Standalone, the Heavy morph change is being rendered correctly. When you use the Complete Scene button, it only exports the meshes and transforms each frame, not the mesh vertex changes.
