save particle cache

 

 

This node will save simulation to the cache file. It will save all particle groups that have exporting option enabled (Workspace->Groups). When FumeFX simulation is being calculated and it interacts with objects like particles, cloth etc, use "During FumeFX Sim" Mode option to cache particles for each calculated frame.

 

[Inputs]

 

Enabled - Enable or disable node evaluation.

 

Path - Select the path where caches will be saved.

 

Mode - There are several modes for caches export.

• Always - Caches will be saved whenever the simulation is executed and there is at least one particle in the system.
• Snapshot - Click on the Export button will create just one snapshot for the current frame.
• Simulation Range - Click on the Export button will export all caches within the simulation range - as set through the Simulation menu option.
• User Range - Click on the Export button will export all caches within the user defined range.
• During FumeFX Sim - This will automatically save caches when FumeFX is running the simulation.

 

Start Frame - Caches export range start.

 

End Frame - Caches export range end.
