Hi Ahmet,

I've just got Real Flow 2.5 and I can't seem to make the new Vertex Maps Channels working, quite weird as Octane "sees" VM in all other cases.

I've followed this procedure:

Is there any way to make Octane seeing RF Mesher Vertex Maps? I've attached the scene

Thank you,
Domenico

I think octane not understand New realflowMesh.
Try to export Alembic include Vertex map option . i test correct with Mixing fluid Animation. RF 2.5 Octane 3
good luck

Thank you cglism, with Alembic there are 2 main problems:

1. It seems to work only with 1 VM, everytime I try to swap VM in the Octane Mix Material's Amount it doesn't evaluate the new VM, it stays the same, even restarting the Live Viewer.

2. How do we import Alembic sequences in C4D? RF writes one file for each frame and Alembic is supposed to be a big unique file with all the frames stored in it.

Thank you agani for the hint,
Domenico

Hey Domenico, after u cache ur particles/meshes, empty scene and export only the liquid as alembic and u ll have a unified ABC file. Cheers

I'll check this topic soon!

Hey, thank you Thanu and Ahmet.

Thanu, it actually exports a single abc file but I think it doesn't export the vertex maps, I'm attaching a quick scene if yo want to check it out.
Thank you again guys,
Domenico

Mmmm not sure Domenico, cause i havent tried 2.5 yet. I ll take a look one of these days, cause i wanna use this feature too. cheers

Thanks for the tip thanulee - I also tried baking to alembic but like Domenico octane will only read the first vertex map from right to left.

I made a revision for RF mesh object in this next build
