Is there a way to export animations done in blender to DS?

Hello all,

The title says most of it. I've been playing around with particles and fluids in blender and I would really like to try to bring them into DS. Is this possible? Is there a tutorial anywhere? I've been looking around but haven't seen any.

    What you would probably need is a Point Cache Animation (Alembic or MDD being the most common formats that support Point Cache Animation), which, DS does not currently import.

    I don't believe FBX supports Point Cache animation, but I could be wrong on that.

    No. Those are features endemic to Blender's engine. DS doesn't have a system for fluids or particles right now, so there's nothing to translate them to - you could try exporting from blender as a Collada, a format they share, but I doubt it's going to import as anything useful.

    EDIT: The Spooky knows. :)

    If you want to import separate frames, may be this tutorial will help you:

    There is also a script for Daz Studio:

    OMG, good to know. I actually also want to use the blender fluids in DS. Saw a video where they simply did an export for modo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx0VpjGgAyc). didn't know that the point cache is something that gives trouble with DS.

    render to alpha png files from Blender and use chromakey to composite?
