RAJK Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi, i've been learning how to cache DOP networks ( part of a greater project ) currently got to work by using the DOP i/o node to render out a specific frame range, But when i try to import in that cached data using a file node, i realize that there isnt any color information on it. For example, using pryo FX i was able to cache a frame sequence, but when i bring it back in, i get a grayscale sequence. anyone knows if im missing a step along the way? thanks.

mawi Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Color isnt a property of the simulation, its just a visualization of the fields density, temperature and heat. You can recreate it if you want with a volume visualize SOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaurav Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Dop I/o node is designed to make this easier. Just add a field to import and name it "Visualization" Cheers! Edited July 9, 2013 by vectorblur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAJK Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Thanks! that worked out very well. One question though, is it possible to set it up so that Houdini automatically caches a simulation after you change parameters on it? a possible scenario is setting this up as a digital asset so that artists can just change those parameters ; bigger fire, no smoke,etc, and after changing it, Houdini automatically caches it?
