Atoms support supports Renderman, Arnold, Vray and Vray renderer. There are Redshift renderers. Atoms is shipped with a procedural for each of these 3 renders that renderer which can be used inside mayaMaya/houdini Houdini or standalone.In maya with arnodl and renderman is possible to render each agent group as a normal maya node, just lunch a render and the procedural are automatically loaded. But pleas ebe aware the
Maya
You can directly render agent groups, just launch a render and they will be automatically replaced with a procedural by the renderer.
In general, you should always export a cache of your simulation and then replace your agent groups with AtomsProxy nodes reading those caches.

Please be aware motion blur will not work if you render directly from an agent group |

You must export a cache of your simulation and then use an AtomsProxy node to load it in the scene. The Atoms proxy node support the motion blur.

Houdini
