How can I render this and make it look realistic? #201

I see some other people saying to use ParaView and others to use your blender addon, blender-sequence loader. I have both of these installed and for ParaView, I cannot make the .vtk file into a volume because of a non-tetrahedralized cell, and the partio plugin returns this error...

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I think the main cause is that it doesn't find module partio, so i tried downloading from disney github and the pip install partio command doesnt work anymore and I also tried running python setup.py build_ext and it still returned errors...

For blender I successfully built and imported the addon into blender it works fine and I am able to render as well, but the geometry nodes just add balls to the particle points and it doesn't look realistic at all... just for fun I decided to do a small render to show

bgeocompress.mp4

I think maybe someone could provide geometry node setup to make it look good, but I would prefer to just render it in ParaView if that is possible.
