I have just started using ParaView and 3D visualizations. I am using plot3d data and am able to watch the animations happen before clicking send to OpenVR then the animations stop on the frame it is at and I am unable to view the animations play out using the VR headset. Is this something that is not currently available or is there a specific order that I need to load data up in to allow this to play?
I am currently running paraview 5.8.1, OpenVR 1.2, and using an HTC Vive.

Animation already supported by Paraview VR, the order is not matter, you can click send to VR several times after new data loaded.

Thanks for your response!
It turns out I just needed to pause the animation before clicking send to VR.
