dop sim every frame

[skydave]

Hi,

I have a dop which simulates something and the result of that dop is used at another place in my setup.

Now what I want to do is to run the full dop simulation every frame.

like this:

frame 1.: initialise and then run the dop for 10 frames -> take end result and do something

frame 2.: initialise and then run the dop for 10 frames -> take end result and do something

frame 3.: initialise and then run the dop for 10 frames -> take end result and do something

frame 4.: initialise and then run the dop for 10 frames -> take end result and do something

etc.

so basicly what I need is a dop node which will run a solver multiple times per frame.

I tried to play around with substeps but I didnt get it to work. Could it be achieved by this?

I also looked at the wedge rop but since there will be other animated stuff in the scene this is not exactly what I want. I would have to bake all animated stuff out and then have it as a input depending on wedge iteration.

Any ideas anyone?

Try the 'timeless' option on your dopnet. I think if you turn that on, then set you supsteps to 10 or whatever, you will get a fresh dop sim every frame that runs for 10 steps.
