Cake Kid Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Hello, I've created a cloth simulation in Houdini and I would like to compare the time needed to simulate cloth with different parameters. I know it is possible to check last cook option when I middle click on a node, but that shows the time for a certain frame. Is there a way how to see the total time needed to simulate cloth? Also, when I am caching these simulations I usually cache with ROP output and then read the files back in. Is it possible to check the total caching time somewhere? Thank you very much for your time Have a nice day Edited December 2, 2015 by Cake Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 You can look at the times the cache files were written to see the total time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeLetellier Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I'm new to Houdini as well, and something like this would be quite helpful - where you could run a simulation, and a log (whether in program or out of program) would each frame number, the time it took to render/simulate, and the particle count (or other assorted attributes as needed). Is there something like this built into the program? If I was to write a Python script that did something along these lines, how would I incorporate it into my my scene so that it would run once-per-cook?

Guest tar Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Check out the Performance Monitor from the Window menu. There is lots of info available, not sure if it will do everything you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 For ROP output times, there is also from the main menu, Render > Scheduler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeLetellier Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks guys! I'll play around with these two over the next couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
