Geometry Cache

[sly]

hi,

I just cache some animated geometries , and i would like to know if there a way to hold the last geometry cache frame. Say , i have a cache from frame 1 to 100 , when i load it and go to frame 105 , it gives me an error .i would like to get the last geometry to stay for the rest of the animation.

Hope i'm clear enough.

See you,

Sylvain.

copy and paste your file node

point the new node to just the last frame - no $F4 or anything like that, so instead of "myFile.$F4.bgeo" it's just "myFile.0100.bgeo"

put down a switch SOP

wire your original then the new file node

in the switch SOP use : if($F > 100, 1, 0)

this says "if the frame number is greater than 100 use input 1, otherwise use input 0"

this is a little redundant if many geometries are implied.

Thanks for the Tip , i should thinked about this one !

cheers,

I usually use a timeshift sop with a clamp expression: clamp($F, 1, 100)

Pretty much Michaels trick but with a timeshift node you could have a one node solution.

Thanks to all , will dig around that
