Hi there... The easier way is to export the OBJ then MDD from choreography relative to its action.
I show the process here:

Your work is superb. Maybe some changes in the driver to make him more relaxed, he is looking like a robot in this pose. The elbow should be away from the body with your hands more centered. Tilting the spine will also help in naturalizing the pose.
you are completely right... and it works pretty well, but the user needs another 3d software to render it,
the magic trick to export directly to Standalone Octane is to program an alembic file exporter
I was thinking here about this contest, would be more interesting if we work in a splash screen contest instead a mascot contest. This way we could create a magnificent structures, mechanical, sets, abstract forms...
I have a friend she is writer and wrote a book named Fada de botas ( Fairy with boots ) ( http://www.fadadabotas.com.br )...
we are planning to transform it in a 3d short movie...
here is a little test that i rendered to show him some possibilities...
modeled and animated in A:M
rendered in C4D ( Octane renderer )
