Can blender’s fluid simulation be exported to another 3D application?

are there any good video tuts I can download that show you how to do a fluid simulation and maybe export it. I use Cinema 4D 9.6 and would like to export to that application.

thanks

Okay, I have no idea if this will work or not, but there is a blendernation post about a Blender Fluids to 3DS Max script. That package includes a script to export blender fluids as an .obj sequence. You can import them into C4D with something like this tool:

Here is the BN post with the max export script:

I do not use C4D, so I don’t know if this will work, but it seems like it should.Good luck!

I don’t say anything about exporting, but here is a video tutorial I made on use of the fluid simulator. link

[Edit] This should probably go in the animation support forum…
