cwhiteIs there any chance of you sending a simple setup of this. I still cant seem to get it to work at all. Should I be exporting it as USD or FBX etc...
Agent primitives use either skinning and/or blendshapes for animation, so if skinning isn't usable you could convert into blendshapes with a shape per frame or something like that

You don't necessarily need to export to another file format - you could use the KineFX tools to set up the blendshapes (https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini20.5/character/kinefx/blendshapes.html) and then create an agent out of the kinefx character (https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini20.5/character/kinefx/exportcharacters.html#crowds)
