Tips with vellum grain to standalone

Hi,
I created a simulation in Houdini using Vellum grain. I exported out to the octane Standalone via the plug-in. As shown in the screenshot is there any way to smooth out the grains once in the plug-in. I know I can increase the particle number in Houdini. But I would like tips on certain workarounds. Is there a note in the octane standalone that will allow me to smooth out Vellum grain particles? even if it's just slightly.

Thanks

Hi there,

Honestly, I would assume you'd need to mesh your grain result. I don't think we have a way to smooth that out in Octane itself.

I would play with the jitter value in houdini

Okay, I'll just converting it into a Alembic mesh.
