read back substeps

hey!

I'm simming a flip fluid sim and I'm writing out substeps to disk in order to do a slow mo effect. At the moment I'm having something like this for 4 substeps

 

testretime.125.25.bgeo.sc
testretime.125.5.bgeo.sc
testretime.125.75.bgeo.sc
testretime.125.bgeo.sc
testretime.126.25.bgeo.sc
testretime.126.5.bgeo.sc
testretime.126.75.bgeo.sc
testretime.126.bgeo.sc
testretime.127.25.bgeo.sc
testretime.127.5.bgeo.sc
testretime.127.75.bgeo.sc
testretime.127.bgeo.sc

 

how can I read this info back and render it in mantra so that 125.25 becomes 126, 125.5 becomes 127 and so on? should I rename those frame by hand? ;) or there's something smarter?

hey! just tried but it keeps the same frame for 4 frames and then move to the next one, I think he's looking for integer frame, while mine are 125.25 etc... maybe I can cache them out in another syntax, without using $FF so the files will output already in a nice way

i've done something like this. before your cache node just drop a timeshift and divide time by your substeps ($F/4). then after your cache another timeshift and you can animate it as you want.

 

also take a look at this tutorial
