Hi sorry if this is in the wrong place, first time post here and new to houdini.

Im trying to export my particle simulation to an alembic (to render in c4d with rs) but I cant seem to get the particle rotation / orient to carry over. I've found a few post that describe ways to make the orient attribute into a martix but it looks like im not getting an orient attribute from my dopnet?

Any help would be greatly apricated, im a total newby

There won't be any orient from a particle system unless you build something custom that adds and computes orientation.

Exporting particles as alembic is pretty limiting. I've not had much success, although I've only tried importing them into Maya. USD has better support for particle systems and supports writing orientations per point. I know RS supports USD with Houdini, but I'm not sure about C4D.
