Have you tried velocityPP? It would be nice if Exocortex had more up-to-date docs explaining this. If I remember well, the Crate importer in Maya will convert any attribute by appending "PP" at the end. I hope you can find an alternative to Realflow. The SI plugin is known to be buggy and the format is order of magnitude heavier and slower than any other format!
