    Have you ever imported a particle sim from Houdini into Cinema 4D as a .abc Alembic file only to find you can't even move the position of them? They're locked down! I found a workaround to get past this annoying problem. I hope it helps!

    Nice tutorial. Btw it works in all alembics. Not only from Houdini. I used this on the fluid sim I made in Blender and imported into Cinema 4D. Thanks.

    At least with redshift you can also use the matrix object instead of the cloner, to have even better viewport performance. Just put a RS object tag on the matrix and enable particle geometry

    in this way the particle dosent keep the orientation, is good only for spheres, there is another way to import orientation in the thinking particle via xpresso tag Pget and Pset attribute.

    Hello, can you publish a houdini to export abc files?

      Hey mate, I'm really sorry but unfortunately we only offer the exports at this point :(

  • @deeppiledreams

    Can it not all just be moved and scaled in object mode? I am sure that is how I do it.

      I don't think so, at least it didn't work for me. Try it though and let me know!

    Nice gambiarra, but unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem, only a turn around. Try doing this with a really complex simulation with millions of particles. C4D simply cannot handle.
