Hi everybody,

does anyone knows if there is a way to export houdini particles in the RealFlow BIN format? This could be a great way to export particles between Houdini and a lot of applications.

One of the mayor application for render a wide number of particles in a fast and accurate way is Krakatoa from FranticFilms under 3dsMAX ant it supports the RealFlow BIN format and lets to load and edit it in the main 3dsMAX particle system (particleflow).

here you can fin a good example of what Krakatoa lets to render

I try to render with krakatoe but mantra was better for my test 2 000 000 particles

hi CeeGee

I beleave you but I'm only asking if there is a way to export data from Houdini, I like Houdini but I also like to try how can applications comunicate between them, just in case :wink:

I used Houdini 9.0 and RealFlow Export SOP. everything work fine…

thanks ceegee for your attention,
can you help me to do the same? where can i find the realflow export sop? is it already in Houdini or I have to download from side effects?
