I made this building destruction following (Applied Houdini Rigids II version 2.0) tutorial. I want to export this to blender to render. How do I do that.

Probably as an Alembic or FBX sequence? Make sure everything is converted to actual geometry, but basically an Alembic would be my first choice of format.

Run some tests with just a handful of frames to make sure that it's all working, then export you full sequence, and be aware that the resulting file will be quite large.

I have found Blender has some orientation issues with FBX, but in my tests Alembic came in just right.

Apprentice cannot export to other software.
