Hi everyone, i have a question about particles animation on Octane!!!
Is possible to make a fire/smoke/water animation, using some plugins like FumeFX, RealFlow etc... then export to octane and render it?
If is... please let me know, and thanks anyway!!

You can't. You'd want to render them in Max and then composit the effects in afterwards

I think most professionals do a separate render pass for vfx anyway, so they have more control with adjusting colours, contrast, etc. Just make sure you have the alpha channel enabled when you render out both the vfx and octane render.

Don't break your monitor now :lol:
