realflow plugin? Ok i'll give it a go.

Mantra does look great, but it doesnt seem to be too snappy, and not really keen on learning another whole render engine at the moment.

you guys know if mantra doesnt Flicker during Gi animation by default, or are there also setting you have to play with? i googled it, but couldn't find any mention of mantra and flicker.

If you're getting flickering with your GI renders in c4d, you need to set your irradiance cache file to lock and auto load or choose IR or IR QMC (camera animation). I find the former works best for tiff sequences where you may not be rendering all in one go. Otherwise if you have moving lights it needs to be set to full animation. This will clear up any flickering.
