art3mis Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Am I correct in assuming that a ROP Output is just as functional as a File Cache for caching out geometry and sims? If so is there a reason File Cache might be preferable in some circumstances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The FileCache is actualy an HDA that contains the ROP Output node inside. What is nice about the FileCache is that you can place it inline. Say everything above the cache is fairly heavy to compute. You drop down a FileCache and write out that heavy computation then you can activate load from disk and continue on with down stream manipulations if needed. If you ever need to modify the nodes above the FileCache simply make the change and write out the result to the file again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
