Thanks David. Paraview managed to open the files when set VTK Particle
Files. Now I just need to find out how to output something that I can use
in Nuke or some 3D app from it.

Nathan I was going to look into partio today, but I couldn't get a computer
with Maya installed. But I'll do as soon as possible.

Thanks everyone!


cheers,
diogo
